Can we stop conflating weakness with women and girls in general, and female genitals in particular?

Agreed. Not to mention that a pussies routinely squeeze out whole human beings. That is how badass they are. You know what is useless and complains loudly at the first sign of damage? Testicles. "Are you scared of that, you massive testicle?"

I assume you are referring to the word "pussy" as one of its definitions is, according to the dictionary, "a woman's genitals"? But it is also, according to the same dictionary, defined as "a cat" as well as "a timid and cowardly person (typically used of a man)." It turns out that words can have more than one meaning and is pretty clear, given the context, that the last definition is the one at play here. If there is any kind of conflation happening, it is only you that has done the conflating. If you don't like your behaviour, just don't do it? Seems pretty simple. No need to tell us about it.

  In local parlance where I reside the meaning is quite clear. I can't speak for your part of the world, but I suggest asking the women in your life how they feel about the term.

    > In local parlance where I reside the meaning is quite clear. Cool, but the dictionary provides record of the prevailing use of words, and it is clear that the original comment was said in the same vein as how most people define it – "a timid and cowardly person (typically used of a man)". There was no association with female body parts (or cats, for that matter) made in the original comment. Whatever pet definition found in your community may be is irrelevant here. > I suggest asking the women in your life how they feel about the term I'll be sure to ask the cats in my life while I'm at it...

it's in line with conflating the meaning of male genitalia and selfish behavior, i see no problem.

Why? Women are more careful and timid than men for evolutionary reasons that are beyond obvious to anyone over the age of six.
