Well men tend to hold there physical prowess in much higher regard then women do. Calling a man boy is a slight to the physical abilities and masculinity. Women tend to intentionally try to appear younger than they are and it’s not a direct slight against them to call them girl unless they are significantly older than you, then it’s a slight against their experience
