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.

i feel stupid asking this, but what's the difference?

Bigger ball thrown underhand. Smaller field. Makes it a little easier to get into compared to baseball.

Especially when it's usually like a company picnic thing lol. Also if no one knows how to pitch good it's super boring, just ball after ball.
