Generally speaking, whether we are boy or girls or which ever in-between, most of what we learn about being a boy or being a girl comes from observing the world and drawing conclusions. It is less about being told what it means to be a boy than it is about learning what it means to be a boy.
One lesson that becomes very clear is that boys like girls and girls like boys. Now admittedly at a very early age, this may be hidden beneath a layer of shyness or disinterest, but is is always out there -- not too far off for any of us.
So at an early age, I started liking boys. But as I was a boy myself, how do I get boys to like me? There was no clearer answer to me than than of dressing up in pretty dresses. While I am not saying that I actually went through this thought process, I wanted boys to like me and the best way I could show them that I was a girl was my dressing in pretty dress.
