Rohkn- Regarding the "be a man.." article, sure...I too think that was written by idiots, about idiots, for idiots. But.. 99.99% of the times that anybody told me to "be a man" about something they were being idiots too, and that 0.01% when it was valid was back when I was in short pants.
In situations where somebody would say "man up!"/"be a man!" to some guy, I`d probably hold any adult woman to the exact same standard.
