Why women are so bossy,...., making the case for this, (apologies to those not so!)

Why are women so bossy, (if you accept this may be a true assertion), well there are so many reasons!

Look at the unfair hand dealt to a woman compared to a man when it comes to having children:

1). Him one night and his work is done, her nine months and then the time taken getting back to normal afterwards.

2). How many men have lost their lives performing their duties, whilst women used to have high mortality rates during childbirth.

3). Women have to carry the child inside them, not drink too much they're advised, or smoke in case it affects the child, and so on.

4). The pain involved, all taken by one side in this equation.

5). Then there's the inconvenience associated with fertility etc., (I won't go into this for the sakes of the men reading the thread), and all the men have to put up with is the "possibility", (no more than that), his partner might not feel herself for a day or so once a month, or be as receptive.

6). There's breast feeding on top of all this, the unfair pressure placed on women to be supermoms, and so on, whilst he just carries on his merry way, and maybe changes a few diapers.

Okay, enough about children, what about all the darn fool ideas many men come up with and need straightening out about, (whilst the woman has to massage his ego as to how smart and dominant he is!). :( :)

My evidence for women having a tendency for being bossy comes in a saying my old boss used to use: "One man in a hundred is a leader of men, the other ninety nine are followers of women"!

(anyone able to argue with that statement?)

Some research:

Quote:
"Are women called bossy more often than men? We found that 33% of women and 17% of men reported that they have received feedback that they are bossy at work. In other words, women were twice as likely to be branded bossy in the workplace. Yet, when leaders were asked to recall a time they worked with someone else whom they considered bossy, they were about equally likely to describe a man (48%) or a woman (52%). Men were more likely to describe bossy men coworkers, while women were more likely to describe bossy women coworkers."

(Study authors three women and one man).
 
Women are interesting and creative creatures.
Bossy? Yes, as are some men. Others are quiet and never seem to speak their mind, as are men.
My own thoughts on this question...
I like to say that women are more assertive in verbalizing their thoughts and wants and needs.
Men second guess themselves, often times knowing they should have gone with their first instincts.

Yep, that's my answer.

It's not that women are bossy, it's that some men are passive aggressive pussies who blame everyone else for their own shortcomings. Short coming. That's funny.

Like the old expression long ago: "Tell it like it is!" (y)

On a side note: I only clicked on this because it was on the side of the screen, didn't know who the OP was. After one incident awhile back, I've made a point of avoiding this individuals' threads.. I didn't even bother reading his entire post (in the old thread), only that he said something to the effect of 'this might seem harsh' when what I'D done was show compassion for his situation and tried to be supportive. I guess it's like the older generation used to say, some people go through life with a chip on their shoulders, and in this individual's case looking for something negative even when nothing negative was there.

Women are assertive, due to necessity. They raise children, often on their own. They also are the "right hand man" to their husbands. Women are strong and resilient.

I think you are on to something there, (how could you be anything else as you're agreeing with the OP! :whistle::giggle:), because whether anyone likes it or not most of the child care is done by women/mothers, and in UK primary schools (/first schools), there are far fewer men in teaching posts than women I believe.

Because men let them get away with it ...... as pointed out by Pepper in number 8 .

I can't stand that kind of man ?

Personally ... I don't ike too much bossy on either side ..... jmo.
 
Some women are bossy because they know they can get away with it. Why? A guy will do anything for you know what. It's like a dog who knows a treat is coming if he obeys his master.
