"Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short and wear shirts and boots because it’s okay to be a boy; for girls it’s like promotion. But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, according to you, because secretly you believe that being a girl is degrading."

Ian McEwan - The Cement Garden

Madonna paraphrases this quote at the beginning of the song “What it feels like for a girl.”  That’s one of my favorite songs, lyrically.
