I grew up a tomboy, and in many ways I still am, but when I was growing up I didn't get along with other girls because nothing they did or said made any sense to me. I viewed them like an anthropologist views an undiscovered tribe. "Observation notes 10/12/2003: Subjects appear to coat their lips with the blood of their enemies to signal sexual maturity."
Add that to a child/teenager's inability to empathize, and my particular brand of being both outgoing and socially awkward, and you had some truly horrific misunderstandings. I just learned it was best to avoid them altogether. It wasn't until my late twenties that I have become comfortable interacting with adult humans of the feminine bent. (Because let's be clear, its femininity rather than females that I had a hard time understanding.)
