Associating your target with men and with male culture (read: bros) as a pejorative is acceptable because it is punching up :eng101:
that may be true but the original meaning was synonymous with "dandy" or "fop" (which are 18th century slang for genderqueer)

Basically, there are no insults that don't ultimately mean "man who is like a woman".

You cannot destroy the master's house with the master's tools. All insults are, ultimately, misogynistic and serve only to make the Patriarchy stronger.

There's a lot of overlap between calling someone juvenile as a pejorative and calling someone woman-like as a pejorative. Many negative qualities stereotyped to women are basically stuff you expect children to do, granted manchild itself is usually more focused on hobbies than behaviors but in the general sense of saying someone is behaving childishly it's not far off from saying they're acting like a little girl.

Beyond the historical context of households treating women as dependents what comes to mind when you call someone childish? They're being naive, not acting responsibly, letting their emotions get the better of them, throwing fits/tantrums, crying, acting irrationally, this is all stuff that is similarly used to dismiss women.

The idea that many societies have in the past or do presently encourage or expect women to act in a childlike manner isn't really a contentious assertion."Man of the house" essentially means "adult of the house".

I like using the word oval office, because americans freak the gently caress out if you say oval office. retard as well

like you can say "motherfucker" like it aint no thang, but oh no, oval office and retard are off limits these days

nobody freaks out if you say oval office unless theyre an old christian lady. plenty of actual militant anti gay people still live here and use "human being" so expect to be avoided with the same frequency as a person who frequently drops "friend of the family" on convos

i will die on retard hill though
