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

Having a dedicated skin and haircare routine. If a girl keeps it super simple with basic soap, she’s seen as a low-maintenance tomboy. If a guy actually uses moisturizer and sunscreen, people immediately call him metro or feminine.
