Just as I’d understood the rules for girls, surely he’d absorbed the world’s rules for boys – that emotions are forbidden, that to be a successful boy he needed to ‘buck up and be a man.’ Do girls abandon our bodies because that’s where we’re shamed and boys abandon their emotions because that’s where they’re shamed? Little boy: Don’t feel. Little girls: Don’t hunger.
