If someone calls me bossy, I just say thank you, and move on. It's usually enough to stop them dead in their tracks. They just don't expect that. It's the same when my ex called me a b * t c h one too many - I looked him straight in the eyes and smiled and said "thank you, and I'm good at it huh?" And I turned around and walked off. I'd never seen that man's jaw hit the ground so fast. It was all I could do not to burst out laughing. I know I chuckled as I walked off. Hey, I just realized I had the ultimate mic drop. Anyway, I thought it was so funny and it had been so long since I thought of it and this reminded me.

“You’re obsessed” Said whenever a woman shows interest in something that’s not approved of by the person calling them “obsessed”

my manager put in my yearly review that I was 'abrasive'. I pointed out that this is the kind of criticism only levelled at women, and is a deeply sexist response to an assertive woman who behaves in the same way as the men around her, and he just doubled down. He's previously told me (a 47 year old professional with over 20 years of experience in my field) to soften my tone and appear more helpful. It's outright sexism and would never be said to a man of my age and experience. When I pushed him to cite an example of me being abrasive, he couldn't produce a single one. He just doesn't like me or the fact I'm older than him and have more experience than him. Notably, he responds very favorably to my colleague, also a woman of the same age, who simpers and giggles at him.

It is condescending when a gentleman tells me that perhaps I should re-examine my beliefs simply because I disagree with him on a political topic. Thank you for the information you share with us! I really find it to be helpful in dealing with others in an assertive but respectful manner.

On the "you should smile more"
Every day I had gotten this from a coworker who loved to bug me and wanted to see how far he could push me. I was always calm and quiet and one day I kept my eyes the same, gave him a big toothy horrifyingly psychotic smile and said "like this? Do you wish to see this every morning? Or should I do this at your car window while you're about to leave from work?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 He never asked me to smile again. He left me alone and never harassed me from that point on. I should have done that sooner.

I love the way you just cut to the chase. You make everything so clear cut and incisively show how to manage situations . Thank you.

[arshadinaumaranajib]

We need more of these for working women! Im not the type to snap back so I'm here to learn more to shutdown unwanted drama

[joogle]

“You should smile” Ugh!!! If only I had a dollar for every time a man said that to me. Wish I knew how to respond to it 30 years ago. Next man who says it to me won’t even know what hit him. Thank you!

I love the " maybe your emotions are your logic " .
I LOVE IT !!! 😊😊

[brightpage]

I rewound to keep practicing “I suggest you refrain from characterizing my emotions.”
- writing it now helps, too. Thank you!

When out to lunch with coworkers in a restaurant, I casually said that the service was kind of slow today. One of the men said "Ok KAREN" and rolled his eyes. I was furious but couldn't think of what to say, so I said nothing

[shellshock]

Oh but then when you reply with assertion...they might say " It was a joke, geez you take things too personally, why are you all upset with smiling? there are " Forever Dumb-Dumbs" out there.
My time is valuable, shared with people I value. I look those " Forever Dumb-Dumbs" in the eye & tell them their shoes are pointing in the wrong direction. Not wanted on the voyage. Making better choices, improving mylife. Thankyou your videos are great! 💥👍🏻😎

[DarkbutNotsinister]

Don’t forget “calm down”. For the love of god, people, even if someone needs to calm down, DO NOT SAY CALM DOWN.
“I suggest you refrain from being within my arm’s reach”

[annipaulekas]

One more!
Said to a make co-worker “ excuse me, I’m not feeling well today, you know, I have one of those migraines that comes with a girl time”. The angry response was “ you should get used to that”. My response se was to got into graphic detail of my situation. Once finished, I asked if he could deal with that. He was horrified and left the room.

You give a nice corporate world version, but there are even more out in the wild. I was accused of "barking orders" by a guy who followed me halfway around the park path (about 1/3rd of a mile) yelling at me that he was going to report me for said orders. The "barking orders" event he witnessed? Me telling a creep to F off who'd been harassing me at the same park for four months while walking my dogs and who had graduated to filming me while he followed and stalked me. We can't even self-protect/defend it's too aggressive.

[janiced.hatcher]

Word wizard, I need the right words for a malignant narcassist (family member), who does the silent treatment for weeks at a time then decides to say hi one day. I'm holding back the wind of my voice so I don't look or sound out of control.

[wellthatsinteresting]

Dan, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. I have had past issues *maintaining* my professionalism in professional settings and have used your tactical communication techniques w/ much success! Your tactical training also helps to align my communication in *ALL* settings when people cross boundaries. Thank you

The other side of my TRIGGERS...
Bossy is my middle name.. that is what women do.. we make order out of chaos... I suggest you refrain from telling me that I am not allowed to DELIGATE duties as this is what I get paid to do...
Sweetheart will never be something I display for you EVER... So I suggest you keep that word out of your mouth when you are talking to me rather than characterize me as something I clearly am not.
Smiling is for Olympics and Beauty contests, neither of which I have entered. If my emotions are making you uncomfortable, I suggest you take a moment in the bathroom to collect your thoughts and good nature as the rest of us and refrain from labeling what you are perceiving to be negative. Your uncomfortable feelings are no ones business but your own. I suggest you keep them to yourself from now on...
What do ya say D -... I used suggest and refrain... 😬

[myphone]

Can you teach us how to respond to “weaponized incompetence”? It can happen with anyone but at work and in the home there are men who think it’s our job to do “women’s work” that is not valued but necessary (like administrative or domestic labor) for them even though it’s part of their job and not ours. Or when they slack and expect you to do their job for them.

She did it again..and I just said this is my face🤣🤣🤣. Next time I left my camera off🤣🤣🤣
