Ugh. Dp. I hate,hate hate when girls are called bossy and boys are leaders. Why ignore the elephant in the room. It is a boy thing. Would you the say the same thing if ot was a race thing. Ie white kids keeping a poc from the project?

Because it's not a boy thing or a race thing. It's a personality thing.

. As a middle school math teacher with 18 years of experience, it's a boy thing. I go to great lengths teaching boys, especially east Indian boys what it means to be a member of a group product. I watch and listen for growth in participating and accepting other's ideas. They get plenty of scaffolding before I start deducting points.

Taking over is a boy thing.

But being passive, bring willing to allow boys to take over is not a girl thing?

This is exactly what I was thinking. This girl was in a group project with three other bossy kids. The boys took over, which could have happened if she was in a project with three other bossy girls. In fact, in most projects like this, there is a faction of bossy kids who take over the whole thing. I really don't think this has anything to do with issues of misogyny, which you seem to want to view it as.

Um, the pp didn't refer to girls as bossy and boys as leaders, she said girls can be bossy too, which is implicitly calling the boys bossy.

Actually no it isn't.

I see the opposite. Many women in particular feel free to openly say they'd rather have girls, feel crushed if they're not having girls, express relief they don't have boys, make comments to parents who have been "doomed" with the fate of only boys such as expressing wonderment as to how they will survive.

And btw, I have boys and girls.

Nothing makes a married woman start leaning politically center right more than having a son. Because she then has to listen to baseless criticisms about how her son is inherently advantaged and privileged.

Oh please, there are plenty of disparaging terms used exclusively for men. You don't see men crying over the fact that asshole is an insult that is reserved for men.
