Curmudgeoning is a man's job! It takes a man to curmudge. Check the definitions - a curmudgeon turns hurt into humor. What woman would do that?
When a woman tries to curmudge, she just grumps. No one can grump as effectively as a woman. When a man tries to grump, nothing much happens. He is ignored. He is an irrelevancy. But when a woman grumps, who can ignore her? An unhappy woman makes everyone unhappy. Nobody says "when papa ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." It's momma who matters.
No man can effectively curmudge a grumping woman. Try it - you will find out pretty quickly that curmudgeoning a grumping woman makes no impression at all on her. This is largely because women find no humor in hurt. For women, hurt is too close to home.
As for Pollyanna...well, nobody talks about Pollyandy.
