Nowadays this statement is no longer true. There are as many games for girls as they are for boys. With the exception of some games like rugger andcricket, girls participate in almost that boys play. In athelics we see girlsperforming just as well as the boys, some even better. They jump run, throw andgenerally enjoy the sporting event as much as the boys. In fact, some girl areaggressive and highly competitive. I have seen girls elbowing one another in thebasketball game, uttering unmentionable words when angry and shoutingthemselves hoarse cheering or jeering the participants. So much for the myth that girls are weaker and not-sport loving. They definitely revel in sport, with the exceptions. Anyway we can say the same for some of the boys too. Not all of them love sport.
On the subject of clothes and fashion, we find that it is no longer a femaledomain. Boys love fancy clothes and the latest fashion just as much girls.Departmental stores have sections devoted specially for the male. We have boysand men who are so label-conscious that they will not touch the “inferior” stuff.They could gladly spend hundreds of dollars for an in-style outfit just to impresstheir peers. Clothes has become a means to gauge the status and theacceptability of a person. Faded blue jeans are in with certain groups whileoutrageous “new-wave” fashion has grippes others.
