sissified
Weak and fussy
Sissified means made weak, timid, or effeminate—stripped of toughness or masculinity.
The word is derogatory, implying that gentleness or sensitivity in men is shameful: He thought yoga was too sissified for him.
Sometimes applied to things considered insufficiently rugged: a sissified version of the original recipe.
