whine
this word is functionally sexist since it is used primarily of women and children, while in similar circumstances men are said to ask, tell, repeat, complain, criticize, or just plain talk. Use instead complain, grumble, grouse, gripe, criticize, harp on, fume, find fault, be dissatisfied, pester, harass, fuss, raise a fuss. See also bitch (v.), complain, nag (v.).
