Reply #175: This is the way that I took the remark when I heard it as well.

I discussed it with my son today (25) and asked him, "If someone told you to take off your pink tutu, what do you think they mean?" He said, "It means stop acting like a girl." He elaborated that he knows it's meant to be an insult but it falls flat with him because he doesn't think being equated as female is an insult. But he is firm that the intent behind it when someone says it is, "You are acting girly."
