I agree and I don't want to start a fight, but Pussy is a strange insult.

Pussy = coward. And that is what they are - cowards hiding behind masks.

They are cowards. And calling them that carries more weight to be honest.

Calling someone a pussy is comparing them to folks genitals. And if you've ever seen someone give birth, you know pussies are far braver than dicks.

I always thought it came from pussy(cat), like scaredy-cat

Also, fun fact! The word "puss" for cat probably comes from "pspsps"

It may come from that but the playground bully usage is similar to don't be a girl.

pusillanimous - lacking courage, cowardly

There's no positive evidence for the pusillanimous → pussy derivation as a genuine historical source — it seems to be a sporadic folk etymology.

It’s from the word pusillanimous
