You definitely dont need to be "a man" in order to do that, and in my experience, I actually think women tend to do a better job with that.
Its probably more accurate to tell someone "to be a woman" about it. I obviously don't plan on using neither expression, but illustrating perhaps why the expression makes no sense.

I find “coward” to be the best replacement for the feminine-based insults. Stuff like “grow a pair” or “sack up” or “don’t be a p****” or “be a man” can all be easily and IMO more impact fully replaced with “don’t be a coward”.
If people call me a p**** I couldn’t care less. Someone call me a coward. You better bet I ain’t no coward!
