I have a few guns that kick, one of my favorites is my 700 adl rebored and chambered to 35 whelen it is a plain jane gun right down to the plastic buttplate. I love it, so does my 13 year old son. He shoots it and laughs and asks for more ammo. He weighs about 90lbs.
If a boy can shoot this then maybe men shouldn't whine about recoil.
If you want to shoot it you can, if it scared you don't whine.
