pussification

Pussification is a vulgar slang term for what speakers perceive as a cultural shift toward weakness, oversensitivity, or excessive caution—particularly among men.

The word implies that society or individuals are becoming soft or cowardly, deriving from pussy in its derogatory sense of a weak or effeminate person.

It appears most often in conservative or traditionalist commentary lamenting perceived declines in toughness or masculinity: The pussification of America is why kids can't play dodgeball anymore.

The term is offensive to many.
