Your Definition
The male equivalent of a tomboy; a boy who enjoys activities typically associated with girls. You don’t have to be especially effeminate to be a marygirl, just as you don’t have to be masculine to be a tomboy. What activities in particular are considered "girly" are largely undefined (the same goes with "boyish" activities); but one such example that some consider a girly activity is nail-polishing (why that is though is beyond me). In all honesty, however, these terms are stupid and sexist, and for most activities, whether you will enjoy them or not isn’t based on whether you have a penis or a vagina. Everyone’s own interests vary, and people should be able to like what they like, and not have others rake them over the coals for not conforming to society’s age-old standards, ideals and stereotypes of what hobbies are considered "masculine" and "feminine".
