I Write Letters

Dear English-Speaking World:

I am officially requesting cessation of use of the truly abominable phrase "Man Up."

It is contemptible on so many levels that I would hardly know where to begin, had I the remotest inclination to explain everything that's wrong with it. Luckily, I don't. Suffice it to say, it sucks.

Please discontinue use effectively immediately.

With Womanly Regards,
Liss
