The biggest, pithiest, bullshittest excuse for male behavior that is otherwise legally/morally unacceptable from birth
to the grave. Covers socially perverse actions that no girl could ever get away with without the label to the effect of "weird/evil" or "whore", i.e. like fighting, having promiscuous sex,
cruelty to people and animals, or any behavior combining
selfishness and aggression.
Teacher 1: Last week, one of my students mooned the class. When I called his father, he apologized, laughed and said "Boys will be boys."
Teacher 2:
True enough.
Teacher 1: A few days later, his daughter did the same thing. He came down,
mortified, and spanked her right in
the principal's office.
Teacher 2: Sounds fair.
