Perhaps because of traditional beliefs that men are tougher than women, it's common for British people these days to joke about men's weaknesses.
A man who complains he's ill with a cold might be told he just has 'man flu.' The implication is a woman keeps working when she has a cold, while a man exaggerates its effects, in order to get some sympathy and get out of doing any work.
According to the British saying, such a man is being 'a big girl's blouse,' a jokey way of saying he's not as manly and brave as he could be.
But now it seems maybe men aren't such big girl's blouses after all.
