banned bossy

I checked the DHS website, but found no state by state data on child support arrears, but based on the accuracy of your other predictions...

My bio mom is a staunch Republican,votes a straight ticket every time.Yet she got pregnant out of wedlock,then married a man who was not my dad to appear proper,then divorced him after I was born and handed me over to family to adopt and raise.
I've never met my bio dad,don't really care to.

I am getting impression that Bill is a closet misogynist. Seem to be obsessed with feminist issues. Who are you trying so hard to convince?

I don't know if you have ever had a female boss or supervisor, but if you had, you would know that females earn the title "bossy." And that is not a knock on females. Maybe I don't understand your post to begin with. You are always all over the place.

to viper:unmarried does not equal single.
what percent of unmarried women have
a bf,or a loyal partner. or what percent have
a common in law partner?

Bill, you are right. Unmarried parents are not necessarily single, and divorced parents are not necessarily raising the child on their own. Thank you for correcting me (and others)

Would you like to provide some evidence to support your claim that that conservatives (Republicans) are less likely to be "single mothers"?

Please use evidence that they actually are (i.e. a posteriori evidence) rather than reasons why they should be (a priori hypothesising).

Thank you!

There is nothing wrong with calling a bossy person bossy. What did they want you to use instead, "assertive", because it conjures up images of poor, silenced and oppressed women finally finding their voices and speaking up? Assertive is good. Bossy is kind of bitchy but sometimes people need to be bossy. Nothing wrong with bossy.

I happen to have two bosses, one male and one female. I refer to both of them with gender neutral term: control-freak. They both equally fret about being seen as micro managers.

Discrimination is never ok but it sometimes gets used in place of discernment and things get confused way too much as a result.

So bossy women(in the most literal sense) want to ban the word bossy, do they not see the irony in that?

Bossy is a gender neutral term in my opinion, most commonly used in reference to children who try to control their younger siblings or playmates usually not in a particularly nice manner which seems pretty appropriate in this case.
