boys have the same amount of double standards working against them. i'm going to throw this out here right now - when i was seven, i had an ez-bake oven. i did. i liked it, i liked how i could make tasty pastries and eat them while i did boy things, like play with cars and arrange them by colour, size, make, model and year.
the only problem was that it was pink.
to avoid embarrassment (for themselves or for me, i haven't figured it out yet), whenever i had friends over, they'd cover up that beloved ez-bake oven with a blanket and forbid me to use it until my friend left.
needless to say, i only had that friend over for an average of seven minutes before i kicked them out so i could bake shit again. i did anything; i 'accidentally' kicked all the arranged cars (arranged as described above) my friend and i worked on for those seven minutes, he cried and left.
finally, pastries. yum.
and now i work in a bakery part-time.
but i digress - the point is that boys can't do girlish things or have girlish attributes or else they're homosexual and flamers.
girls can do boyish shit - they can play paintball, drink beer, do things males usually do - and they're seen as 'hot' qualities.
boys can't drink coolers without being labeled as, you guessed it, flamers.
so yeah. high rant of the night, kpeace

They have a Boy EZ-bake now. But I still think girls have it just the same. You forget the tomboy stereotype.
