#BanBossy

Coinciding with Women’s History Month, it is important to raise awareness to the struggle of being female. This word is no exception. This word has oppressive qualities that often hinder young girls from becoming potential leaders. The sad fact is, this word, though devastating to young girl’s development to become headstrong and independent, has none of the same effects when used on a man. Words like these often discourage young girls from self development, often leaving them feeling they cannot fully participate in society as powerful leaders for fear of social scrutiny.
