"Was this a total joke, or only a half joke? Was he suggesting that being a boy and being in drag were the same thing? Was he making fun of boys or coaxing me to see humor in the fact that I had to be one? Was "other boys check you out" gay? Was "you'll get your share when you're a boy" his feminist critique? Did the hook "when you're a boy" mean being a boy was something temporary, a switch you could turn on and off, a mood you could be in when you didn't feel like being a girl? Where was he in this? And where was I? He sang it wearing a skirt on Saturday Night Live. The whole performance seemed to say, this is what it's like when you're a boy. Good luck, kid."
