14-year-old ignores her 17-year-old sister after she starts calling her "her brother" because the younger sister likes to work on cars with her older sister's boyfriend: 'She started yelling and accusing me of trying to steal her boyfriend'

There is never a time when gender norms are more strictly enforced than during childhood. When you're an adult, you can present yourself any way you want, and most people won't question it to your face, but kids pick up on the slightest deviation from any norm. The reason they do that is because the adults in their life are judging people based on their gender expression, but they're just not doing it around the people they're questioning. Children will listen, and they will especially listen when they hear their mom saying, "Did you see that woman at the grocery store who didn't shave her armpits? Please promise me you'll never do that when you go to college."

Sometimes kids scrutinize the interests of others based on whether they seem like a "boy thing" or a "girl thing," even far beyond typical playground jaunts that you'd think they'd grow out of by high school.

The sister in this story is acting extremely immature for a 17-year-old. Her 14-year-old has developed a friendship with her boyfriend over their shared interest in cars, and that is making her incredibly insecure in her relationship. Instead of dealing with that insecurity, she's resorted to name-calling her sister, who hasn't done anything wrong.
