Herstrionics 

The feminist movement has sought for years to address the imbalance present in a hierarchical, i.e. male-dominated, society. Recognition of female members of society has been progressing for many years, however it is a long, slow road.
Some radical feminists were too eager for change and believed that words that included male identifiers should be revised to include female identifiers. Although "chairman"and "spokesman" were easily dealt with (becoming "chairperson" and "spokesperson" respectively) others were not.

Some were believed to be male identifiers but, in fact, were not. One of the most notable was the "his" in "history", which was changed to "herstory". Yet others were selectively ignored for reasons best known to the activists; their omission paints a picture of the mental state of some revisionists. They include "hissy fit" and "histrionics", and such blind selectivity is now known as "herstrionics" and "hersy fits".
She gave way to a bout of herstrionics by insisting that we refer to Manchester as Personchester, and that the change was persondatory.

Macho-histrionics 

The chaotic and aggressive dysregulation that occurs when some adult males are asked to comply with a very simple mask-wearing policy.
"Some meat-head wigged out at the bank when they asked him to wear a mask; I'm so sick of their macho-histrionics."

girl grip 

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.
I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.
