Black women are commonly called "pushy," "aggressive," "sassy," just like men of color are called "menacing." It is a classic microaggression.Would either of you have preferred that I prettied the term up and just called him "whipped"? Because the context still would have been there and I'm sure that I would have been accused, once more, falsely, of committing a micro-aggression.
Women, regardless of the color of their skin, are called "pushy" all the time (which is why Sheryl Sandberg wrote the book "Lean In"), so there wasn't and isn't any need to bring race into this and I'm very offended that you did so.
And, honestly, if that is the only response you have, @canbelto, to the content of my response and explanation as to why I think Meghan is driving the bus on this move to LA, then it makes it pretty clear that you are far too focused on race than on other factors that contributed to people's perceptions of them.
Think about it: if Meghan is the one arranging for these multi-million dollar deals what the hell is wrong with it? She's earning income for a growing household with a husband that was born into so much money that he never developed any practical job skills. Why is she being called "pushy" and Harry "p__sy whipped"? Think about how offensive and degrading that sounds and ask yourself whether you'd say that about a white couple. Really.
