1. unmanly

   Unmanly refers to characteristics or behaviors that are not traditionally associated with or expected from a man, based on societal or cultural norms about masculinity. This includes traits such as lack of courage, weakness, overly emotional, or avoiding physical activities often linked with the male gender. However, these stereotypes can be harmful or restrictive, as they discourage diverse expressions of masculinity.
