And Wikipedia redirects "Janegirl" to "sissy", so considering my current drive to get slurs out of the wiki that doesn't win any points in my book. And the blatant testosterone poisoning would only be (barely) tolerable if these were YMMV tropes, but they aren't.
Reverting the edits with this explanatory text as the edit reason:
Quote:(1) The edit substantially changed the definition of the trope without having gained consensus in the trope's Talk page or the wiki forum before being made, and (2) the edit contained an apparently-pejorative term that is not defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary or Oxford English Dictionary.
EDIT: And the way this troper redefined Sensitive Guy and Manly Man - by setting rules for what is or is not an example of the trope without gaining consensus for those rules beforeband - is clearly "trying to drown out others' opinions" and thus a violation of rule 1 of the Terms of Service. Raymanbell gets a three-day vacation from editing the wiki.
Thanks, Rob. I tend to be a bit hesitant when it comes to stuff like this because I don't want to do a Fast Eddie on anyone, so I give a lot of benefit of doubt, even where it might not be merited.
