No.
I see what a problem might be in terms of clarifying answers.
As muslims we live according to the examples set by the first generations of muslims because we are told that they are the best of generations. How do I be a good muslim? Follow their example.
So, when you asked about a woman being a boss, the reply was an example of an early generation muslim woman who was a boss. This means that in Islam women can be bosses. In fact, they can own property, businesses, have their own bank accounts, and so on. In a marriage, the man must provide financially for the woman and children but if the woman has assests of her own these assests remain her's, no matter if they were earned before the marriage or during. She does not have to give one bit to her husband and Islamically he is forbidden from forcing her.
When I worked as a substitute at an Islamic school, women were my bosses and I had no problem listening to them. Let me rephrase that. While working at the school, I HAD to listen to them.
Alhamdulillah
