Just for the record:
The term "man up" has one purpose and one purpose only: To be arrogantly offensive. Nothing else. Period.
Really? I see no such suggestion in a dictionary: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/man--up?s=t verb (intr, adverb) US informal to adopt a stereotypically masculine approach or course of action The only other meaning I'm aware of is an implication that the speaker feels no purpose would be served by continuing a dialog in which the listener is or seems to be grasping at straws. -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.
