Let's call men feisty.

When a man calls a woman feisty, this always strikes me as derogatory.  They say "feisty", I hear "it's so cute that you're trying to be [violent, tough, protective, menacing, strong, etc.], but you're just not a threat, so I'll never be concerned.  In fact, you strike me as amusing."

But guys rarely seem to be aware of this.  So I say we call them feisty.  See how they like it.  I bet they won't.
