~~man up~~ boss up, gender neutral.
I like grow up, myself
That works too.
~~man up boss up~~ emotional-fortitude up, morer gender neutral.
Women are bosses.
You're not wrong. But if you want to 1) eliminate any chance of assumed gender in "Boss" due to cultural history, and 2) have a little fun with moving the mark into the absurd, you'd appreciate what I'm saying.
It feels like emotion shaming. "Boys don't cry/big girls don't cry." Maybe that's why there are so many suicides, which I also think suicide shaming the victim is wrong. Shame the society/circumstances that led up to it, you know?
Moving past the joke of de-gendering a gendered colloquialism; yes I do agree with you on both of your points.
