If "man-child" & "man-children" exist, does "woman-child" & "woman-children" exist?

Yes- but they pretty much just call them "women". I know that sounds harsh, but just imagine what the reaction would be a if a man got upset as his wife because he dreamed she cheated on him- he'd be ridiculed as an immature dolt with no control over his feelings. But when women do it, people call it "cute".

When a man acts childish and immature people call him a man-child. When a woman does it people call her cute.

That's not even cute for an adult acting childish and throwing tantrums

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Yes, they’re called “littles” a subsection of the submissive category of BDSM. They are heavily sexualized.

[PeachyPie93]

Of course but when women do it they are usually called Karens LOL

[SotiCoto]

... Nah. Not really. Karens tend to be overentitled mothers who believe their spoilt brats should be everyone else's primary concern... which isn't really consistent with neotenous behaviour.

The Ingenue, it because women's youth and innocence tend to be seen as a good thing.

Yes…. But not acting like a idiot

[TheSpaceGnome]

Most American women act childish by throwing tantrums, acting entitled, and placing their responsibilities onto others, and expect their boyfriend/husband to replace their father instead of being a partner.

Definitely. They are the immature girls, that need to be taken care of by men (e. g. money) rather than putting on their big girl facade and take care of themselves, leaving room in their romance section for someone they actually truly want.

I put the odds of an actual woman asking this at roughly.0001% Obvious man posing as a woman.

there's certainly immature and infantile specimen of both genders.

[DrPepper12]

Generally no but the whole "I'm fine" "whatever" and "nothing's wrong" is the male equivalent.

[LazerBean]

Yep, theyre usually just called Karen's though

[Summeroflove]

For sure LAMO!!

[ManInChains]

It has to, otherwise it would be sexist

[JacobJordan]

Yeah we just call them women...

[SotiCoto]

In gross overabundance. Yes.

[John_Cobretti]

[Awantika03]
