I was just thinking today that nothing has been more affirming to the masculine parts of my identity as how much of a little bitch I am when I catch even the slightest of colds.
Iâve broken just about every bone in each arm and leg. Iâve seen my own blood more times than I can remember and my own bones peaking out my skin twice. Cuts, bruises and minor burns are generally ignored. One day my clumsiness will kill me, because I refuse to learn. At least I will go out proud.
But a cold will fuck me up every single time. Sometimes for days. And yes, I will whine all the time nonstop.
Have you considered questioning your gender? Maybe you just aren't manly enough. If you try hard even you can be a manly little bitch while having a cold /j
Some people are just outside norms. You definitely have that main character syndrome that most men have though; can't take something not being about you or describing you perfectly and personally as an individual for a whole five seconds without stomping your feet.
Be sure to mansplain things to her, too. Oh, "mansplaining" is when you assume they are ignorant about a topic and start explaining it as if they are clueless.
