Why don't we tell people to "woman up"?

Let's say you have a son. You might give him lessons or advice on being a man. And when you catch him being whiny or making excuses you might tell him to "Man up"

But now say you have a daughter. What would be the equivalent? If she's misbehaving would you tell her to "woman up?"

I guess the closest thing would be telling her that she's being "unladylike"

But that seems so old fashioned. I can't remember the last time I've heard someone say that to their daughter.
 
I just like to tell people to grow up in general, regardless of gender.

Seems odd too that we call men who don't want to grow up, Peter Pans.... But the term female version, Wendy Darlings, is underutilized.
 
Seems like transphobia. Should have broke it out before dudes could have babies.
 
Why are Pussies called Pussy,

Why are Pussies called Pussy,
Webster's Third International Dictionary suggests that pussy in the sense of "vulva" may be connected to Old Norse pūss and Old English pusa, meaning 'pocket' or 'purse'. Meanings of the verb relate to the common noun senses, including "to act like a cat", "to act like a coward", or "to have sex with a woman".
 
I'd guess girls naturally try to look older and sexy as is. Sometimes I drive past a high school after the bell rings and see tight tops, tight bottoms, exposed mid section. It's like they're competing against each other to be the hot popular girl.

It sounds sexist but there's very few women to look up too % wise.
 
Because many men today are operating at their feminine capacity

Man up and lady like are both old fashioned. And both are very good.

"Be more ladylike" or "that's no way for a young lady to act" are both good phrases for daughters.
 
im just gonna say it, i think saying "man up" or "toughen up" in MOST situations is detrimental to the person's overall mental health and well being, because most times what they're asking of the person is to suppress their emotions.

and i'll tell ya, having grown up doing that, it's no good.

of course there's a very fine line to be walked. you don't want to indulge every bitch made moment or tantrums so you end up with a weaselly wimp that can't hack life. no doubt we're seeing the results of that line having been crossed. i hate to be an old man, but the kids today just aren't the same lol.
