It's annoyingly sexist, whether it's meant that way or not. Why? Because it implies that only cis men (and trans women who haven't had bottom surgery) are capable of having qualities such as courage, and that's just plain wrong.

I usually try to ignore it, but seeing that I'm not the only one who objects to it makes me feel more comfortsble chiming in.

Believe it or not, some of us really don't care how big anybody's balls are!
