sissiness
Sissiness generally refers to behavior, characteristics or qualities often associated with traditional femininity or timidity that are displayed especially by people who are expected to exhibit more 'masculine' traits. This can include gentleness, sensitivity, lack of physical strength or courage, or disinterest in activities often considered 'masculine'. The term can carry both derogatory and positive meanings, depending on the context. However, it's worth noting that it often carries potentially offensive or negative connotations, and its use can reinforce harmful gender stereotypes.
