Sissy
Sissy (derived from
sister; also
sissy baby,
sissy boy,
sissy man, etc.) is a
pejorative term for a
boy or
man who violates or does not meet the standard male
gender role. Generally,
sissy implies a lack of
courage,
strength,
coordination,
testosterone, male
libido, and
stoic calm, which have traditionally been important to the male role. A man might also be considered a sissy for being interested in traditionally feminine hobbies or employment (e.g., being fond of fashion), displaying
effeminate behavior (e.g. using hair products or displaying limp wrists), being unathletic, or being
homosexual.
