The female equivalent is 'gal'-- also the word I'll use if I'm trying to describe someone whose age I'm not sure of (is she a girl who's a senior in high school? Is she a young woman just out of college? I don't know, but I want to relate what she said when she was checking me out at the grocery store, so 'gal' it is!)/

I think the divide between boy/man and girl/woman are the same, though that divide can be different for different people, since not everyone has the same life experiences on the journey to adulthood. For instance, part of my dad's becoming a man was learning to drive a car and graduating college, I did not learn to drive *or* graduate college to become a man, but I did attend college for some time, learned some things there. And, of course, my dad taught me the really important parts of being a man-- doing my own laundry, cooking a family meal, how to shop for groceries, how to treat people with care and respect, to stand up for my beliefs, and to ask for and accept help... None of those things individually made me a man, especially as I learned a lot of these things when I was a child, but they're all foundational to my being a functional adult who happens to be a man.

Someone else might have gotten a degree and started in a career and not know how to shop and cook for a family of five, but be able to feed themselves. Someone might *not* be self-sufficient for disability reasons, but still have the same *knowledge* as the man or woman who can live independently, or many of the same life experiences. Someone might be able to fix a bunch of stuff around the house, change a diaper, and make their kids' and spouse's doctors' appointments and keep track of their health information, without ever having taken a college class. It's all just really individual.
