Why is being called a girl an insult?


Because that is direct hint that those people are
kind
caring
loving
and a number of other positive attributes that a number of guys that call you that will never achieve.

It's not always an insult, if a guy looks like a girl in terms of facial features and/or hair style, it can mean that he is more good looking than many other guys, but in terms of strength, girls tend to be both physically weak and cowardly, so being like a girl in those aspects is usually not good for a guy, and a guy who acts like that seen as an emasculated guy, also an athletic girl is a girl who act like a guy, not the other way around, and guys tend to be better at those things than girls, sure a guy who never train might be weak, but is a female athletes are going to win against male athletes? highly unlikely, despite what Hollywood would show you.

It means you are physically uncoordinated. Your body doesn't move well as a unit, instead different parts of your body work against each other, which robs your own movements of the strength they require:

And this is why Mia Hamm cannot run as fast or as far as a male athlete and she is at a much greater risk for knee injury if she tries to do so:
Got the pictures mixed up. The throwing graph shows the throwing motion of girls vs. boys, displaying the lack of physical coordination that is typical in girls, and the top picture shows the difference in Q angle for male and female pelvis, which makes the running motion of girls less efficient and more prone to knee injury.
Congratulations for getting the question featured my brother. And it is "awkward" not ackward.
I am proud of your mentality.
holy crap, is this a 14 year old male feminist? marry me now
Many people call me "ma'am" at a drive through because my voice sounds higher pitched on machines than in person. I just laugh at their confused expression when I get to the window XD Many people tell me I "look like a girl" because I am not exactly a body builder type of guy. I am stronger than the average male, but people think I do not have muscles. When people call me a girl they are saying I lack a trait that is typically considered male. However, it just rolls off my back.
Because our bodies are not build like a guys- usually girls become more athletic only by undergoing the same training as guys do. And also I dont think that it was meant to be an insult- but more as a way to refer to femininity and masculinity in the previous times. The rougher your built the more masculine and vise versa or so I think that was the original purpose of it...
but you are a guy you shouldn't be called a girl even if girls are good
it's not an insult but for example if someone called me a guy I'd feel offended bcz I am not. that's it but "girl" & "guy" are not insults just ignore those retards
It means your physically weak like a woman and not really a man.

In your opinion they have higher iqs but if that were true they'd be running the planet. This constant pussy pedialisation is very sexist.
But if their iq is higher how can that be the case? Perhaps they enslaved men by nagging us to do all the hard work while they stayed in the cave.
So shouldn't women been able to out smart us using their higher iqs the way homosapians did with Neanderthal?
I consider it a compliment, depending on who says it, oh, and if I give a shit what THEY think!! Most times, it was a female friend, saying that the like me because I am so much like a girl, and they can just trust, and confide in me, and know that I won't betray them!
I jokingly asked one, when she said it, if that means I have to wear panties and dresses, and she just laughed, and said, 'You don't have the legs or butt for that!! :) :) She's my favorite, like the little sister i never had!!
Because we're men, and our masculine nature is in direct polarity with femininity, we're meant to be things like strong, resilient, stoic, on levels that women aren't, and likewise women have their areas. So it is too, an insult, even though a girl being a girl isn't an insult.
Because women are weak, that's why.
It's simple, yeah?
Yes girls are phisically weaker, that's a fact, but they're mentally better/smarter and despite the fact that they're weaker they can tolerate pain better and they live longer. I don't want to be called a girl because I'm not one, it's like being called a deer or a carrot. Makes no sense but not bad or insult
Tolerate pain better?
I've seen girls whine by having a paper cut...
That's true, but it's really just a synonym for being weak.
It's basically the same thing as women are being called bitch, which is a word for a female dog.
That wouldn't make sense either, would it?
So it's just "You are such a girl" meaning "You are such a weakling".
@Ninjazzed Please do tell my why women give birth. I doubt it's because "we handle pain better".
And it's not like women go all "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" when giving birth?
I'd say that pain almost "breaks" them.
We must have different view on strength then.
Women are weak on average, period.
This conversation seems so backwards. A guy defending girls totally bashing it.
Thatâs your distorted perception, hun. đ¤ˇââď¸
Your idea of âaverageâ strength is purely physical, and thatâs ok.
But men and women both exhibit internal/external strength and use it for multiple different reasons.. In very simple terms, no sex is weaker.. and every individual has the same potential and both tend to learn from the other.. Itâs reciprocal.
Whatever depravity you had growing up wonât alter that.. I pity whoever taught you to think this way or tolerated your own delusions.
Get over yourself.
@Ninjazzed Well actually, here is a link to a website that you might find interesting:

Iâm pretty sure chess is a sport where you work your way out of problems by thinking things through and not just, you know, using physical force. If women are better problem solvers then how do you explain about how men are better at a game about working your way out of problems?
@13IsALuckyNumber Because itâs a game, nothing involving intensive strategy?
@13IsALuckyNumber A nearly outdated article, congrats.. you played yourself.
@Ninjazzed
For those reasons I would not call someone "strong".
I know there's more weak women that weak men, physically and mentally.
And yeah, strength is defined like that to me, especially on a question like this.
But anyway; whether you are correct or not, it's not like it actually matters in this context.
He asked why it's bad to be called a girl, and it's the fact that women are weak.
It's not a honourary compliment exactly.
In some instances men are usually stronger than woman at certain things and in some instances women are. Itâs just the way their mind works. Also, okay itâs outdated, but letâs get over it. I made a mistake. Hereâs this article that shows the differences between the male brain and the female brain:

Again, thatâs your subjective opinion.
And your opinion happens to be that women are inferior as the opposite sex.
Opinions are opinions for a reason.
You have every right to feel objectified or defiled when called a girl, when in reality youâre ashamed to be one and donât feel secure in your own skin..
Feel free to keep contradicting yourself and shaming your own body.
You make a fair point.
Apparently both of us is cause weâre both still having this conversation.
@13IsALuckyNumber TouchĂŠ.
its probably bc women have been âinferiorâ to men for centuries and it used to be very insulting and its just carried on. good question
I agree plus I dont get why some girls get insulted by it too like they say no I'm a woman... um. Those are synonyms. Female girl. Woman. its all 1 gender ats all tge same
I like being called a girl cuz I am one I feel strong when it is said to me
Because a man is a man. Im a woman and I donât like being called a man. Thatâs an insult
Guys and girls have opposite traits that can't be in the opposite sex but there are of course traits that are not shared which is mostly specialized for each gender, and what feels offensive is the traits which are opposite obviously for example no offense for a girl to act soft but it will be weird for a guy and I'm not talking about being loving and caring and kind cause these things will be good for both guys and girls
You're being called feminine or a pussy if someone calls you a girl because generally girls do not like confrontation.
Because we are preserved as weak and care more about others than our own goals than to win for ourselfs
I can go over the why, but every reason sounds pretty stupid to me, and probably will to you as well. That being said, you sound awesome and keep being just that.
I donât know too many grown ass men who are comfortable with being referred to as a âboyâ on a consistent basis.
Girls were considered weaker or worse for a long time. Also, for future reference itâs spelt awkward not ackward.
No I was just letting you know for future reference. I wasnât being rude or criticizing you, just pointing out a helpful tip for next time. Sorry if it came off that way.
Because in a sporting context, they are inferior (physically speaking), it's pretty obvious if you are being honest with yourself.
Yes, usually not always. That's how strong a woman can get, but they don't because they look unattractive in it

Men have 40% extra upper body strength and 34% lower body strength, across all weights and sizes. Your exception doesn't make the rule. Women aren't allowed to compete with men, for a reason. The men who identify as women (transgender) and complete in female sports, smash world records and in one MMA fight, almost beat the poor woman to death, throwing her around the cage like a rag doll. Put all this viture signalling to the side and face reality. Women have strengths men could never match, they need to embrace, instead if seeking to be masculine.
It is Today's Sick Society Here, Dear... Just like Rifleman is Rifle Person now. xx
While it is noble for you to hold that view and a good sign of positive social change, the meaning is obvious if outdated.
Equality is good.
Pretending you are dumb or being dumb isn't.
Because that would be a frontal assault on your masculinity. But, finish your adolescence first before worrying about that.
Being called a man if you are a girl is an insult too
because sexist people made everyone think masculinity is better than feminity, thats y no one says anything about women wearing pants and laugh at men in dresses.
Most girls aren't as strong as men. To tell him being a girls means hi is a pussy...
'you punch like a girl' means you dont have much power, get it?
Stereotypically it is an insult. Just like a girl being called a guy.
Society expects you to conform to narrow gender stereotypes. I feel like even kids should know that.
Old out dated saying.
Because it should be insulting for men to be labeled women.
I love your attitude
Because women, in general, are weaker than men.
Girls are weak, being called weak is an insult.
that's always been an insult means you're a softy
I donât know
