tl;dr but basically it's about how OP doesn't like that coming-of-age stories about female characters are all about romance

As pretty as it is, it was kind of annoying to read, wasn't it?

Here's a transcript:

I hate how girls' coming-of-age stories so incredibly frequently revolve around romance in some form. Romance almost never features especially strongly in a coming-of-age story about a boy. It might be present, but it won't be the primary focus, and I have never seen a story where first kiss/first love/loss of virginity was THE defining coming-of-age experience for a male character. I think it's great that boys are depicted as becoming men by growing into their individual personalities and facing challenges, changes or adversity, but I DESPISE the fact that girls nearly always seem to be depicted as becoming women when a boy or a man decides to make out with them and ~awaken their sleeping womanhood~ or whatever.
