There isn't much that, well pisses me off for lack of a better word than the word "Sissy".

At school, I was unlucky enough to go to an all boys school before leaving when I came out to mum.

School was HELL for me, while I did very well at it, I was alone all times and even bashed the odd times when I was unlucky enough to enter the toilets at the same time as some of the other kids. I learned to hold it all day.
I was very effeminate & small and I've since worked out that they were scare of me more than I was of them.
The one thing I got called almost on a hourly basis was "sissy". I cried everyday on the way home and by the time I saw mum, I had showered and cleaned myself up so she couldn't see the tears.

To this day I boil with hate when I hear that word. You can say homo, poof, ->-bleeped-<-, ->-bleeped-<- or any other word that upsets the LGBTI group, but sissy is the one.
I find it sexist and its almost their views that women are the weaker sex.
I find it degrading, almost putting us in our place & I find it's used mostly these days by big, manly cross dressers who have no other gender issues other than they get off by wearing CFM boots, black leather & BSMD stuff.

Yes! I'm single
And you'll have to be pretty f'ing amazing to change that

I'm with you. In one five letter word we manage to wrap an incredible amount of stereotyping of males as tough and stoic and females as sensitive (in a bad way). It really is a bad, bad word.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?
