የሴት መጠጥ ደፋር የወንድ አይን አፋር

✦

“A woman's drink emboldens, a man's makes him timid.”

Meaning

This proverb highlights situations where individuals act contrary to their expected gender roles or usual nature. It suggests that when a woman, traditionally expected to be modest and reserved, drinks (or is influenced by something) and becomes bold, it's noteworthy. Conversely, when a man, traditionally expected to be brave and assertive, drinks (or is influenced) and becomes shy or timid, it's also considered ironic or unusual. In essence, it comments on people behaving unexpectedly or against their established character, often with an ironic or humorous undertone, especially regarding the effects of alcohol or other influences on behavior.
