Last week I questioned what I felt to be the rather off putting strident, scolding tone of Sheryl Sandberg's current YouTube "Ban Bossy" campaign.
In my blog "Very Bossy Pants" (3/28/14), I pointed out how Tina Fey had in fact "owned" the word "bossy" - even having titled her April 2011 memoir "Bossy Pants" - and used humor to convey a feminist perspective.
Today, I happened to find this quote by Tina Fey's friend and colleague Amy Poehler, which I just had to share. I think she makes a very succinct point.
Of course, Amy being Amy - clever, witty and absolutely hilarious - she also invented a humorous feminist code to live by. Maybe Sheryl Sandberg could reboot her campaign with this as the new tag line? I think it would be far more effective. OK. I'm joking. Sort of...
