Scared like a girl-Sexism in the Bible


Every now and then I find something like this in Scripture and it makes me chuckle.  Why?  Because it seems a bit sexist and in today's society it would be frowned on.  :)

Jeremiah 30:5-6(NKJV)
5“For thus says the Lord:      ‘We have heard a voice of trembling,     Of fear, and not of peace.
6    Ask now, and see,     Whether a man is ever in labor with child?     So why do I see every man with his hands on his loins     Like a woman in labor,     And all faces turned pale?

Doesn't it sound like God is saying why are all of you guys acting like scared women?  Or is it just me interpreting it that way?  :)
