That's the explanation I was repeatedly asked for, for essentially stating why I thought this guy behaved like a cowardly bitch and didn't handle the situation like a man. If people somehow determine that I'm making an overarching statement in defining gender roles in general, they're really stretching it, and I suspect they know that. Or they didn't read all of the posts....I made clear that this guy's negative attributes weren't unique to, or even ascribed to most women.
Btw, be a man about it, act like a man and vice versa are also things people say when suggesting that someone act with a degree of integrity and dignity. It's a thing, you know.
Man up, act like a man, and be a real man are all phrases that disgust me. I get your point. They're phrases that are used and not necessarily even referring to a man when you say them, but the sentiment behind them is stupid.

Okay. You probably shouldn't use those terms, then.

Whenever I hear this phrase said to me... it's like instantly the biggest cringe ever and in my head I hear a very loud "Ughhhhhhhhhh!".

I tried to man up, once, but I didn't have the balls...

I'm sure somewhere there's a pill for that.

I can see how some people might view the phrases "Be a man about it." or "Be a woman about it." as negative. Some, such as myself simply see it as meaning "Quit being silly, weak and/or indecisive."
