Well I have never screamed like a girl, or called some one a pussy, but I get where you're coming from.
I am one of the strongest, most enduring women you will ever meet. Wanna bet? PM me and we'll match story for story. Manning up is an expression I use, not to denigrate women, but to elevate men. To invite them to step the fuck up. Will anyone? Who knows. Did my ex? Nope. Not in the least.
That is all.
