Definition of Bossy:given to ordering people about; overly authoritative; domineering. For as long as people my age can remember being called bossy as always been a bad thing,like it is a insulting word that shouldn't be said like voldemort. According to Deborah Tannen in “Bossy’ More Than a Word to Women” that is exactly what bossy means. When Tannen explains different uses of the word bossy holds women back and can make women seem aggressive.However I feel that bossy is not as bad or insulting as Tannen makes it seem.
While reading this article I begin to understand what Tannen is trying to say when she is giving reasons why the word “bossy” should be banned. Yes it may seem as if it holds women back and in a way makes them seem aggressive
