A man would never be called nasty. If he is assertive then he is exhibiting leadership qualities but when a woman is assertive she is a bitch.

I agree with Jewell, women are getting more chances at leadership positions and often when they lead, MEN and women enjoy their leadership styles. See sociology research.

If it was a man no one will be calling him ‘difficult’ or ‘nasty’ for a man it’s a given for him to be this way but it’s sure double standard for a woman. But the guards are changing and women are becoming more powerful and holding more lucrative offices throughout the world, and we must continue to do so boldly and aggressively. Sonia Sotomayor is a champion and a great role model to all women. She is the woman of the 21st century.
