When you assert that a woman gets away with a behavior because she has a "queen bee thing" going on, what are you saying about her? What is the equivalent language you would use for talking about a man? Is there an equivalent concept? If so, why can't I think of it? If not, why?

Context is, as James Nicoll says, for the weak.

Taking the meanings that the urbandictionary gives out - perhaps the sort of like Biff from Back To The Future corresponds a little to it.
Even though it's not the same.
He suppresses the weak, gets small when a person of authority is telling him he has more pull and the only one he ever takes really serious is only himself. Including he has some weaker spirits that always accompany him and everyone seems to admire him (secretly) because no-one wants to get into trouble with him.
Sort of like "a bully" which always drags a retinue behind himself.
If you can find that in the real world...
