Who gives a shit what people think it means?
“Man up” is the perfect wording of it. It means take responsibility instead of waiting for someone else to do it. Historically the men are the ones who had to face full reality whereas everyone else could rely on some layer of protection.
You could also try saying “macho your nacho” which I just made up.
You know your basis is bullshit, right? Women have had to “face full reality” forever. And bear lasting consequences men never experience.
That “protection” you assume is there for them?
Mostly doesn’t exist and never did, it’s just another word for control, and often led to abuse and killing.
A woman has to ovary up every time she says no, because it so easily leads to violence.
She has to gird her tits every time she speaks up, because it’s so often dismissed.
For instance now, you going to listen?
And think?
Or just shut me down?
And make my point?
