Question

Boys who do things that are considered feminine are often stigmatized and teased, and are likely to face pressure to conform to masculine norms from both peers and adults. Girls, on the other hand, are often encouraged to break down gender barriers and to do things that are typically considered masculine, so Ava is less likely to face as much pressure as Noah would in this situation.
