As the rural saying goes, "Men are afraid of chickens and women are afraid of sheep", what does it mean?

This proverb means that Xiao, a boy, is most afraid of being a chicken and Xiao, a girl, is most afraid of being a sheep. Xiao, a boy, represents that he is busy all his life and often gets up early and works in the dark, while Xiao, a girl, represents that he is more masculine. This statement has no scientific basis. We should believe in science and oppose superstition.
