Man Up!

[old_school_soul]

<rant> I can't express how much I hate the expression "man up!", especially coming out of the mouths of women. Women have absolutely no clue what is to be a man or what it's like to be a man, so please stop projecting your ideals. </rant>

I presume "grow a sack" is also off limits? ;)

LOL. I love that expression.

And clearly, men wouldn't ever project their ideals of womanliness and all that it should be onto real flesh and blood women. Wouldn't happen.

Is 'cowboy up' bad too? I never really liked it but it was popular around here about three years ago thanks to THIS GOOFBALL (http://assets.espn.go.com/i/magazine/new/millar_bald.jpg).

Nope. Never happens.

Anyone want to sit around and pain toenails before straping on ridiculously skintight outfits and running around giggling like high schoolers?

how about when a guy tells a girl to "man up"???

"Grow some balls" and related expressions are kinda dumb. Balls are fragile bits that cause their owner a great deal of pain from the slightest impact. Shouldn't we say "grow a uterus" instead? Those things support a living creature for the better part of a year, and then shove it right the hell out.
