Jun 8, 2020 at 21:25 comment added paul garrett @jpaugh, "Wrestling (with)" or "grappling with" could work, too. Simply "handling" doesn't convey the implied stress, I think.
Jun 8, 2020 at 21:20 comment added jpaugh I think the gender-neutral term would be "handling." "Manhandling" (whether used as a pejorative or a term of pride) has a particular "red-neck" cultural viewpoint embedded within it. I don't think there's a way to neuter the gender while respecting the culture it comes from.
