This seems like a niche question, but you are actually the third person on this sub to ask it. I don't think it should be seen as an insult to call a man a feminine term or a woman a masculine term. Especially if it really applies to them.

The examples you used are from Yahoo Answers and Quora. I'm not really surprised that they have conservative viewpoints there.

Early man cared little for appearance or complicated thought...those things are not good looking or flashy...down to the caveman in all of us, it's taken as an insult.

But this person also implied that calling a man "suave" or "high class" is fine. Seems they can't keep track of their own narrative.
