I understand that this is a touchy subject, especially on HN, but come on: "Avoid editing what you want to say in
your head, and try not to worry about being wrong."
This is straight from their Leadership Tips for Girls pdf. They are encouraging girls to just say whatever comes to mind. What's next - calling everyone who disagrees "sexist"?
- Tohhou 13y ago>What's next - calling everyone who disagrees "sexist"? If you disagree then you are automatically labeled as one of the obvious sexist rapist rape apologist pedophile neckbeard supremacist spermjacked nerd sperglord virgin libertarian losers. They can't possibly be wrong, so if you disagree you must be one of the hell bound sinners of the most dire nightmare. >"Avoid editing what you want to say in your head, and try not to worry about being wrong." This is very sexist of them. Their implication is that males are stupid and don't ever censor themselves when they work to be good leaders - that they are only gain leader status because they say every dumb idea they have, and that saying stupid things shouldn't have any consequences.

- Tohhou 13y agoThat's female chauvinist ape, shitlord!
- pigDisgusting 13y agoWell played, Tohhou, well played. Now if you'll please excuse me, I've just stepped in some of my own doggy doo, and I need scrape off my shoe.

- 6d0debc071 13y agoThat is highly disingenuous. The advice they gave, in context, was: 1.Speak Up _in Class_ Raise your hand, even when you’re not sure about the answer. Avoid editing what you want to say in your head, and try not to worry about being wrong. Speaking up isn’t about having the perfect answer. It gives you the experience of thinking on your feet, debating with others, and wrestling with an idea—all crucial skills that you’ll use in every area of your life. - http://banbossy.com/girls-tips/ http://banbossy.com/girls-tips/
- kaliblack 13y agoI like that the leadership tips were generally about building confidence, instead of playing the victim as would be expected by the campaign name (as long as you ignore the intro copy). Really the only tip that matters is tip #9, which basically says people will give you shit but do it anyway. This is something all kids need to learn.
