   • 2016, Therese Huston, “The Decisiveness Dilemma”, in How Women Decide: What’s True, What’s Not, and What Strategies Spark the Best Choices, Boston, Mass.: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, →ISBN, pages 91–92:

     Women who make executive decisions and tell people what to do (instead of asking them what they’d like to do) win points for being decisive but lose far more points for likability. The press (and plenty of others) call these women bossy, pushy, and opinionated, and the adjectives quickly get nastier from there.
