Most of the people who insult men by attributing them with feminine traits don't have an actual issue with women themselves. it's the idea of a man acting like a woman that they go on about.
"Less than a man" doesn't equate "woman" in this way of thinking, any more than "less than a woman" equates "man" when applied the other way.
