Boys can be vegetarians while girls eat from other animals.

Not all species of mosquitoes suck blood. Among those that do, including the dengue mosquito, only the female feeds off other animals, since she requires a blood meal in order to produce eggs. The male eats flower nectar.

And sometimes girls dominate in social hierarchies.
