I thought one of the privileges of being female is that you don't have to "be a man", "take it like a man", "grow some balls" etc.

Speaking as a man, I find expectations of manliness to be an insult and an imposition.
I remember being glad I was a girl for this reason. I thought it would be awful to be expected to play sports and fight, etc. Of course, it would be better if men didn't have to do that stuff either.
