Letter: Men bossy? Never

Sir: Looking at the headline for your article on Edwina Curry ("Ms Bossy", 29 January), I'm left wondering if there is such a thing as a "Mr Bossy"? Or would he be "Mr Get Up And Go", or "Mr Speak Your Mind", or even "Mr Assertive"?

Why is being in a commanding position that encourages respect and attention seen as a negative when it comes to women?

Yours faithfully,
