there is something truly joyful about "boys will be boys" moments that arent rooted in misogyny and patriarchy.
like last night, my brother announces hes going out with his mates. he gets back like two and a bit hours later and turns out they went to a city an hours drive away. when i asked why they went there at 7pm, i get the answer that they wanted to go, and when i ask if they went there with a destination in mind, i get "yeah, [name of city]" said in a way that told me he thinks im the weird one in this situation.
to recap, at 7pm, him and his mates drove an hour to a city, drove around the streets for about ten minutes and then drove back.
and im the weird one for thinking they might have had a reason to do that.
