        You’re not wrong. But if you want to 1) eliminate any chance of assumed gender in “Boss” due to cultural history, and 2) have a little fun with moving the mark into the absurd, you’d appreciate what I’m saying.

          It feels like emotion shaming. “Boys don’t cry/big girls don’t cry.” Maybe that’s why there are so many suicides, which I also think suicide shaming the victim is wrong. Shame the society/circumstances that led up to it, you know?

            Moving past the joke of de-gendering a gendered colloquialism; yes I do agree with you on both of your points.
