[Lexicog] Origin and synonyms of "wimp"

[Nick Miller]

>>There is a social game among men in Germany

nowadays, where men "insult"/tease one another as "wimps" by all kinds of
terms (over 2000 already and new ones are

coined every day). Among the top ones is "Frauenversteher" = a man who
understands women. Is there a good

translation of that one into English? 

 

A "new man" could perhaps be used derogatively.
