And yes, it is a gendered slur, ESP since it is directed at a man.

What fits is misogynist, racist, heartless douche bag who will use anyone no matter who it hurts or how much to get his way. That fits.

Gendered slurs are offensive, too.

and attempts to insult men by comparing them to women.
It's an ugly, dehumanizing term.

Best not to "mansplain" to women what we "should" be offended by.-- I watched and 'understood' just fine.

Can’t find another word?

How about asshat? Turd? Whiny little baby? Whiny little fuck?

Surely your vocabulary is better than this.

I didn't know "putz" was a gender slur, BTW.

I’m guessing you’re male.

Or you’d have caught on quicker to how offensive that is.

Crybaby is actually even more descriptive of Diaper Don. Perfect.

I don't think it is offensive when applied to a male. But I concede to the sentiment here.
