She's not bossy, she's just being assertive in her sexuality :)

I break this cycle in my own head by (dis)respecting people whether they have power or not. Maybe the feminists could take a leaf out of my book?


By insulting children?

i'm not sure this is an issue that merits much discussion, really. all it says is to not discourage young girls from showing qualities of leadership. if you don't think that it is an actual problem, consider that the girl guides know more than you, Internet Misogynist, about child development.

righ knight - i don't quite see the connection between bossiness and paedophilia. but that's possibly because i'm just a radically mainstream extremist conservative feminist.

Bossiness is the worst parts of qualities of leadership. Leaders are inspiring and visionary, they motivate and cultivate people below them. Bossy people are officious and lazy. Its wrong to encourage girls to be bad leaders while we teach boys the critical thinking and vision to be true leaders. Instead of banning bossy we should encourage young girls to aim a little bit higher. This is my problem with most of "feminism" a lack of ambition.

Noone calls angela merkel bossy, and she shows "qualities of leadership".

Today's feminism is inherently misogynistic because it assumes that women are the weaker sex and need affirmative action to be on equal standing with men. I think women in general are better than that.

The way she was conducting her business. She wasn't bossy since that word is not allowed, but we can say that she was rather aggressive, considering that the act was not consentual on the boy's part.

If a middle-aged, fat man would have forced himself on top of an underaged girl in a public transport, he would face years in prison for attempted rape. If a middle-aged, ugly woman forces herself on top of an underaged boy, it's just funny and he should consider himself a lucky guy. In some countries, the boy might even get charged with attempted rape because according to the law in those countries, a woman cannot commit rape.

So Piggy, the use of the word "bossy" is sometimes applicable. I agree. As you put it, there is no actual issue involving assertive girls being unfairly demeaned by the insult "bossy". This isn't unreasonable, maybe they have misidentified this problem.

But as I already fucking told you, I'm fairly certain the Girl Guides know more about child development than you do, that pretty much being their entire purpose. So maybe you could stand to be a little less assertive, hmm?

And you would describe this as "bossy"? I'm not sure what this has to do with the topic which is to do with encouraging children to become leaders.

Also, not sure what looks have to do with rape ... unless you're implying that rape isn't so bad if an attractive person is doing it ... which would be very insulting to male rape victims as well as the less important kind.

This thread is about whether the Girl Guides' and feminists' initiative is sensible at all, and the negative side effects of it. Trying to make it shameful to call bossy people bossy is insincere, and does not promote leadership skills in anyone.

The typical feminist narrative of the rape problem: ugly, fat, middle-aged neckbeard men raping young girls. I wholeheartedly agree with you that this is offensive.

I'm happy to see that you can identify a large part of feminist propaganda as either offensive or nonsense. Give it a few months, and you might be the next "righ knight" or "neckbeard internet misogynist" ;)

Offensive to who ... ugly, fat, middle-aged neckbeards? (Like you?)

Everyone's a victim nowadays, aren't they?

Offensive to anyone who thinks people should be evaluated by their actions and not according to which genitalia they have. But not offensive to you?

Oh no. The woman is the victim and the man is the perpetrator. Even if the woman raped the man. The woman was suffering from low self-esteem because of patriarchy and was therefore forced to rape.

Why so obsessed? It's rather perverse.

Oh no. The woman is the victim and the man is the perpetrator.


He said sarcastically, implying that men are victims.

Hence, "Everyone's a victim nowadays, aren't they?"

"Straight white men have it so tough, don't they?" said the straight white man. "Everyone's a victim nowadays."

Assuming that everyone who disagrees with feminism is a straight white man (who are so privileged that they aren't entitled to an opinion about equality anyway). By corollary, nobody who disagrees with feminism is entitled to an opinion. How practical.

While we are at banning a word (brought to you by Girl Scouts LOL), let's not sit on our romps. Let's bring those sexist men who have hampered equality to the gallows, AND begin spreading equality. I decree for Gender Equality we must;

1) Place a woman at the #1 top of all WarLight leaderboards.
2) Encourage women to play WarLight.
3) Ban all you sexist scum from the forums
4) Ban the use of the word feminist in a negative way.
5) Continue the never ending debate on equality of genders.
6) Admit that all of you were sexist and wrong.
7) Everybody must pledge that Young Girls can lead, too.
8) All WarLight players must pay a $250 fine to the both Lean In and Girl Scouts of America.




All sarcasm aside, stuff like this is ridiculous. Some people must have nothing better to do...

- We need to ban boys and men from playing Warlight until they are reduced to the level of WL playing girls and women. We can't have this male privilege!

- All females' WL accounts must get an extra boost in speed. To compensate that, all male WL accounts must get a corresponding lag.

- Clans that have female manager majority should get an extra free membership account. Clans that don't have any female as manager must be extinguished.
