I enjoyed the inspirational piece on Sheryl Sandberg. The subsequent feature (My First Boss) highlighted the unequal experiences of men and women in the workplace. Martha Stewart and Sandberg were described as "beautiful" and "good-looking". Among the male subjects, however, no references were made to their physical attractiveness. As a young woman, soon to embark on a career, I find it disheartening that in some women's experiences, their workplace prospects are to an extent still grounded in their physicality. Evie Mortimer, 19Preston

If such privileged women are still facing so much sexism, then just think about what that means for those at the bottom. Hollie Edmond Reading

The campaign to ban the word "bossy" is based on sound argument. It's nothing to do with grown-up women feeling offended; it's about stunting the ambition of young girls. Sandberg, Beyoncé et al are right. When a young girl starts showing leadership qualities, she will often be called bossy, not just by peers, but by adult male relatives or even teachers. These are people whom the young girl probably wants to impress, and so she is more likely to conform to what is drilled into her as being the norm for girls – ie, to shut up and do as men say.

Oh dear! Sheryl Sandberg has to stop herself telling her daughter she looks pretty? Why doesn't she just give in – and also tell her son he looks handsome? Job done! Hilary Marshall Shrewsbury, Shropshire

We are a group of women at work of various ages who have made a pact: to try to wear on Mondays whatever Jess Cartner-Morley deems to be en vogue on Saturday. A few chickened out when we all opened our magazines to find socks and sandals, but the real fashionistas rose to the challenge – after a fashion.Jo SamwaysOxford

Socks and sandals as a look for women? Fashion, me arse. Bob Corkey Co Wicklow, Ireland

I get pure "O" OCD, which means odd, irregular but harmless thoughts. With cognitive behaviour therapy, I turned my life around. Interesting OCD fact: most who experience OCD are intelligent, caring and considerate. So appreciate your friends with OCD.S GreenAddress supplied

As a GP trainer, I can reassure Lucy Mangan that it is not because of doctors' fragile egos that they ask patients about the cause of their illnesses . It is because GPs are now trained to ask the patient's opinion on what is wrong with them. Sometimes it's quite useful, as you can reassure people they do not have Lassa fever or Ebola. Dr Marion Johnston Dunfermline

Four per cent lambrusco at a children's birthday party? Has Fiona Beckett been to one of these? I'd give that to the kids; I'd need something much stronger. James Styles Tankerton, Whitstable

Are you sure the ghost writer wrote What I'm Really Thinking? John Tierney Heswall, Wirral
