Calling a woman "manly" or a man "girly" are different sides of the same coin.
They disrespect both genders. It isn't targeted at only women.
And they should both go away. I'm not personally offended by them overly but I don't see the value in either. I think its really interesting when you take away traditional gender roles...My nephew is the girliest kid (stereotype wise) I know and that is totally fine with me.
It is hardly the end of humor, I don't think we have to be that dramatic. Humor evolves and will never die....there is humor in everything. Truthfully I think the comments in question stopped being funny long ago and are used more as insults instead. Just my view on it.
