"he-bitch" is a slang insult that likely emerged in late 20th-century English, combining "he" with "bitch" to label a man as submissive, weak, or effeminate. The term draws on the gendered insult "bitch," traditionally applied to women, to invert it onto a man, implying a lack of strength, dominance, or traditional masculinity. It is used in informal speech, online discussions, and teasing contexts to mock or demean behavior considered unmanly. The term is clearly derogatory, gendered, and offensive, intended to insult masculinity rather than behavior neutrally.
