This idea about masculinity and how it relates to power and leadership can help bring reason as to why some women take on the Queen Bee approach. Women must stay in the middle. “If women conform to the gender role by being feminine they fail to be ‘managerial’, but if they conform to the managerial role they are no longer feminine” (Mavin, 2008, p.77).
