"Boys" have the most fun, they can be irresponsible and stupid until they are in their thirties, its funny when they streak, its hilarious when they play pranks... When a females does the same its crude and unlady-like. Why?
It's so unfair.

I never mentioned that I wanted to streak, nor am I some type of feminist. I just can't tolerate old ideals governing my life and my actions... about the girls behaving badly... "Badly" is the key word.

We live in a gender-biased society. Women are put on pedestals where they are expected to remain virtuous for eternity. Men on the other hand just really can't help themselves. I think it is in their jeans (oops, I mean genes, that was not a slip honest) They can't think beyond the end of their phallus (or is the expression nose?). In other words, it is because we are the stronger sex and can handle the challenge of being virtuous. The poor men can't. Someone has to be good in this world. It is up to us.

I don't really know.
One reason might be women tend to notice more when they are disapproved of while men learn early on you will always be disproved of by someone. Just notice the use of thumbs on Yahoo Answers you will always get some thumbs down no matter what you say.
About the streaking thing well first picture Will Ferrell streaking and then any woman. Now who is funnier? Be honest it's Will Ferrell.

I guess they must think that we should act like our ancient relatives did. Men rule the world and women clean it up. This is a stupid steriotype. A woman can do a lot of things better than a man. I hate it when I go to a function of my husbands family and the women and men look down on me becuase I speak my mind. If I have an opinion I'm going to say it. It is not like I am rude or anything. They just need to realize that we are living in faster times.

No rational person thinks pranks are funny -- doesn't matter who does them.
Didn't know streaking was back -- does it still mean the same as it did in my youth? Running naked through a public place?
BTW, if you're questioning a double-standard that applies differently to males than to females, then you are so a feminist.
That's what feminists are: people who think the same principles apply equally to both sexes.

Really? Where I went to school, the boys always got into dentition or worse for doing things like that(no streaking, this WAS elementary school). Girls got off with a warning or a note home.
Go figure.

Trust me dear, if you wish to streak I will not consider it rude or stupid, more like enjoyable. It's not rude when ladies do things, its just so out-of-the-ordinary. Men do stupid things all the time so its expected. Ladies on the other hand are so lady-like and professional that when they do get loose, its so noticable and so different because we are not used to seeing it. In you case, anything you do will be OK, you "Da Best"

Really? I guess you haven't watched "Girls Behaving Badly," because there are quite a few who act the same way as the guys. I do not think it is hilarious to look like a jackass no matter what the sex of the person is.

Because of the double standard. Boys do a lot of activities because it makes them more visible. Women, on the other hand, have better judgement Why would any female want to engage in such immature behavior.

What you want the privilege of being irresponsible and stupid? It may not be "funny" when women run naked, but it is definitely appreciated. And again with pranks; do you really want the privilege of doing crude, sometimes cruel things to other people for a joke?
Look at all the privileges women have: we can be tough and demanding and use feminist rhetoric when it suits our purposes, but be gentle and feminine and flirtation when it suits our purposes. Like the lady exec that wears a power suit with a low-cut, lacy blouse.

Because pulling pranks and stuff like that is seen as a male only domain? Same way as people look at men funny if they act all cuddly and affectionate with pets and kids. Not too sure actually.
