Why do they call it man-handle?

Question

Women are some grabbers too...

Answer 1

You know, I am always grabbing. I have a tendency to grab strange men in Wal-mart. I can't help myself. I know, i know, I have a problem. I am trying to get help.....

Answer 2

Man-handling something means being rough with it, or using a lot of strength on it, since in general men are the stronger, rougher, more aggresive gender, I guess. It can apply to people as well(i.g."I man-handled that b*&ch") I guess woman-handling something would apply to crystal glasses, fine china, and tiny babies? lol.

Answer 3

'Manhandling' is a term used when forcing something by using muscle rather than brains.
Like lifting a heavy box alone rather getting help. (Also refers to a man handling a woman forcibly, though not necessarily in a sexual way).

Answer 4
