Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In campaign recently released "Ban Bossy - I'm Not Bossy. I'm the Boss," a video promoting banning the use of the word "bossy." The video features popular women in the media such as Beyonce and Jane Lynch.  




When a man and women are being assertive, the man will be seen as a strong leader; whereas the woman is seen as bossy. The Lean In campaign hopes to change this. But others, however, believe women should embrace the word "bossy." I found an interesting opinion piece about the topic on Forbes. The article reminded me of how women took back the word "bitch" and made its negative connotation into something positive.
