You are starting from the assumption that this movement is in error rather than arguing it to be. The whole point of their argument is that the word "bossy" is used to police women's behavior in situations where the same behavior is considered positive for men -- so simply asserting that it always describes negative behavior doesn't exactly make a useful point.

Their claim may in fact be false. But starting from the assumption that it is false doesn't really add anything to the discussion.
