It’s a cisgender man that has surprisingly annoying emotional energy. #superwhiney
He was hogging the megaphone after saying he would give it back only to then complain about the work that others weren’t doing even though he also wasn’t doing it. Therefore he is indeed a wo-man.

Manly-wo-man 

The present years are diverse in gender, and as a trade-off, all must be titled and defined by a gender correctly. Misuse of the many accepted sexual orientations, and genders can leave you ridiculed in our modernized society.

How limiting.

What if a female wanted to be a manly man without the notation of femininity, or the harsh backlash from lack of term?

Here's the solution, with the deceptions of our language.

Manly-wo-man

The "wo" is silent. Pronounced, Manly-Man.

Behind the pronunciation lies the link to it's meaning. In spelling, the word displays proper use of gender by writing out the sex of the pronoun.
Britney: "Hey, Tiffany. I know of a manly-wo-man."

Tiffany: "Oh yeah? What's his name? I love me a manly man."

Britney: "His name? No, Tiffany, it's a female. She's a girl."

Tiffany: "What? you're not making any of the senses, Britney. Girls can't be men, silly!"

Britney: "Here, let me write it down for you."

* The paper reads;

*Manly-wo-man*

Britney: "With the tricks and diversity to our language, gender bending is a possibility. The "wo" in, "manly-wo-man" is silent, yet its letters assure the genders aren't misplaced."

Tiffany: "Woah... Dude."
