A young girl raises her hand in class to answer the teacher's question． She loudly says the right answer but hears somebody call her a "know﹣it﹣all" and sees someone else roll （滚动） his eyes． She doesn't feel comfortable enough to speak up again because confident woman are thought to be "bossy （专横的）"．
The stereotype （成见） that confident men are leaders and confident women are bossy gave rise to the 2014 "Ban Bossy" campaign （"禁用专横"运动）． This campaign encourages young girls to become leaders and stay confident in the face of being called "bossy"．
Laila Farah， from DePaul University， US， says she believes this stereotype comes from history． "There is an old idea that girls are not as clever as boys，" Farah says． "There is also another very old idea that women act according to their feelings．"
"Gender （性别） stereotypes come from nearly everywhere，" Farah says． "It's is learned when people were babies， from the toys chosen， to saying girls aren't good at math．"
