@anartist Perhaps, but it may also be because women have in the last 50+ years taken on more and more formerly male-only rights, attributes, attitudes. The right to vote, access to jobs other than secretary and full-time mom, sports, pants, suits, cars, motorcycles etc etc. Because of this general movement towards a more “unisex” female form, and because the opposite has not happened with men, this may explain why calling a woman manly is relatively not as insulting as calling a man womanly. Because in many ways, women of today are more indeed more “manly” than in the past, and are also more manly than men are womanly. Does that make sense?
