Because they aren't girls and shouldn't act like them.

sexual equality does not mean sexual unanimity. Females are girly. Men are not. It has nothing to do with being secure in one's sexuality.

<< Because a lot of guys aren't as secure in their heterosexuality as most of us women? :D >>




I agree on that one.

Actually I don't understand why women call their women friends "girlfriends", either.
I thought that was strictly a dating title. Sucks to be foreign sometimes:p

Though personally the one that brings me the most amusement is "peeps"
even "girlfriends" sounds infinitely better than that!:D
