> Thought experiment: How often do we tell young girls "Don't be so bossy" as compared to how often we say that to young boys?

I think a more enlightening question is:

Are parents/teachers etc being overly unfair towards girls than they would be towards boys for the same bossy behaviour?

I'd argue no. If anything it is the opposite. Only different language is used.
