Calling someone a “pussy” makes zero sense biologically
it’s honestly kinda wild when you think about it. We use “pussy” to call someone weak, but that’s literally the part of the body that can handle childbirth arguably one of the most painful, physically intense things a human can go through. and then “you’ve got balls” is supposed to mean bravery, when balls are so sensitive that one wrong hit and a grown man is on the floor. like the logic just doesn’t add up.it’s not even about anatomy at this point, it’s just how language has been shaped over time. same vibe as “man up,” “don’t be a girl,” or calling someone “soft” like it’s the worst thing ever. we’ve just normalized associating masculinity with strength and femininity with weakness, and it slips into everyday conversations without people even thinking twice.
if anything, it says more about how deep these biases run than about actual strength. because realistically, resilience, pain tolerance, emotional strength none of that is owned by one gender. but the way we talk about it? yeah, that’s still stuck in a pretty outdated mindset.
