Girlie men

‘Girlie men’ are politicians who lack the courage of their convictions.

To howls of protest from California’s strident gay rights and feminist lobbies Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger derided the Democrat legislators opposed to his budget reforms as “girlie men”.

Twenty years after the ‘girlie men’ term was first uttered by a couple of weightlifters in a TV skit mocking their less well-built brethren, ‘The Governator’ told a precinct full of shoppers:

"If [my opponents] don't have the guts to come up here in front of you and say, 'I don't want to represent you, I want to represent those special interests, the unions, the trial lawyers, and I want them to make the millions of dollars - if they don't have the guts, I call them girlie men”.
