The difference between girls and boys

I overheard a conversation the other day in school where one of my classmates (who’s a boy) said this, about two of the girls: “Yeah, but they slept in the same bed! That’s weird! They must be lesbians.” My classmate didn’t say this to offend anyone, please remember, but of course his listeners laughed and said: “Well that’s what girls do.” And that is true. Girls can do things boys can’t. But of course, boys can sleep in the same bed if they want to but have you ever heard of boys who actually did that? I haven’t that’s for sure.

When I come to think of this topic one of my friends told me yesterday she thought it was weird holding hands. I said: “Well I often hold hands with Sidsel. I’m pretty sure lots of girls do that.” And they do! And we’re allowed to do that compared to boys. If you saw two boys holding hands wouldn’t your first thought be: “Hm they must be a couple.”? But if you see two girls walking down the street holding hands your first thought would probably be: “Hm they must be very good friends!” Now my question is: how can that be? Why on Earth can’t boys do and act the same way as girls? Another thing I’d thought of point out was that girls go to the bathroom together. But I won’t use that because I’ve actually seen boys go the bathroom together. After one of them had asked the others if they wanted to join him. It really took me by surprise. Anyway what I was going to say is that it is kinda not strange at all that this difference exits. How would the world look like, if girls and boys were alike? Boys would wear dresses and girls would walk around spitting all over the place. I think I just answered my own question… But I still think it would be interesting to see a world where boys could do the same thing as girls without being called weird or gay…
