I'm not insulting you or calling you a misogynist or anything like that. I'm saying you are giving people who use pussy as a pejorative far more credit than they deserve. The vast majority of people do not know of pusillanimous as a word, and are not referencing it when calling someone a pussy.

While this is the root origin it actually comes from the term pussycat, like scaredy-cat (pusillanimous cat?) which has been widely used for the last hundred years or more. Nobody thinks people using the term pussy means they are a vagina. The PUSSYCAT DOLLS are RIGHT THERE.
