Both a bitter and optimistic 24-year-old entry-level underachiever with 2-4 friends and 0 talents. Washed up is an understatement. I prefer almost all my food luke-warm, what does that say about me?
So I have to say it’s much more complicated than you (and the both sides of the campaign) are making it out to be. Language has a HUGE influence on how we perceive one another, even from a young age. The words seems inane enough, but the use of it no doubt affects other’s perceptions of the target. When it comes to women and leadership, there’s this thing called the backlash effect. Essentially, this quote from an empirical article published in 01 explains it better than I can: “Specifically, agentic women are viewed as socially deficient, compared with identically presented men, which may result in hiring discrimination (Rudman, 1998; Rudman & Glick, 1999). Thus, women who strive for leadership positions are in a
double bind: They can enact communal behaviors and be liked but not respected or enact agentic behaviors and be respected but not liked. In either case, they risk being disqualified for leadership roles.” For women in (most) positions of leadership, you cannot be perceived as both competent and well-liked. So calling someone bossy could indicated that yeah, they’re a ‘leader’ but this isn’t the role you as a woman should (prescriptive norms) be playing. People should like you. It’s more important for women to be liked as opposed to men because of these norms, and the stereotype that women are ‘inherently nicer’ is yet another example of descriptive gender (what women stereotypically are like) norms and until these change, the inequality in perception and treatment in a professional environment won’t change. AKA the use of a word like bossy may have more of an adverse effect on women seeking leadership positions than it appears.
Didn’t we have an entire conversation two days ago where the gist of your argument was “they’re just words, people need to learn to toughen up and get over it” Sounds like “blind bias” (which you meant to say bias blind spot, but close enough)
Uhhhhh please provide evidence that Michael Roth, President of Wesleyan, Went to UGA Law. This is blasphemy and embarrassing for Wesleyan people…. Your FACTS don’t add up, bruh
Heard. The people problem with crossfit comes form the losers who flunked gym and made it to the bench JV for one year in HS. Now they view themselves as “athletes” when they probably have the hand-eye coordination of an infant. To be fair though, I’m always down for a session where someone simply tells me what to do and holds me accountable. Then I can’t quite after 7 minutes at 6.0 on the treadmill (worst varsity athlete of all time). If you have a basis of weight training this shit is not hard. It’s just a good workout.
Advertise
not even the tiniest bit gender neutral. I don’t believe for a second you’ve ever heard a boy/man referred to as bossy.
Never got the barbie jeep. was on the list for at least 12 years, pour one out for the power wheels
