Some hackles have been raised at the suggestion that a few alcoholic drinks were thought of as "Lady's Drinks" by some. If 8 out of 10 orders for, say White Russians are made by women.....

Then those who are really concerned they might be drinking a "Lady's Drink" might have some issue about being a real man, whatever that is.

Drink what you like, and like what you drink!

Could be environmental as well. Locally, the guys and girls are fairly equal on beer and straight liquor consumption, I rarely see cocktails served in the bars with the exception of 21st birthday celebrations. Then you see the entirety of a mixologist's knowledge put to the test.

In the semi-rural NorthEastern USA
anything where there are two factors makes for a girls drink (not ladies, girls) overly sweet and a distinct inability to actually confirm the presence of alcohol through taste. A white russian might be sweet but you can taste the alcohol. I prefer to call them novice drinks.
Though I really hate the trend to call anything in a Martini glass a Martini.
