Girlbosses are the new hotness

These days, “girlboss” is a hotly debated term. Some people see the word as a simple celebration of female empowerment. Others, however, think the word is used to describe women who borrow the toxic traits of otherwise male authority figures. The one thing both sides can agree on is that girlbosses know how to get things done. And believe it or not, that makes them very attractive to men!
