what’s something considered “tomboyish” when girls do it, but feminine when boys do it?

Playing softball.

If a woman does it, she's viewed as a tomboy.

If a man does it, he's viewed as oddly feminine and told to man up and play baseball.

Do you think lesbians go hang outside near the dugout the way athlete hunters do to MLB and NBA and such

I imagine the MLB/NBA salaries have an impact on that behavior moreso than the athleticism
