* Ariel Levy, in her book ''Female Chauvinist Pigs'', interviews several bois, one of whom said, "To me, a boi is someone who doesn't have so much to prove. Bois are kind of dirty. Sexually dirty, but also we’re not in the clean, pressed, buttoned-up world... we're like little urchins. A lot of us are artists." Another boi said "I never really wanted to grow up, which is what a lot of the boi identity is about. I want to go out and have a good time! I want to be able to go out to the bar at night and go to parties and go to the amusement park and play. That sense of play-- that's a big difference from being a [[butch]]. To me, butch is like adult. If you're a butch, you're a grown-up: You're the man of the house."<ref>{{cite book| last=Levy| first=Ariel |title=Female Chauvinist Pigs |chapter=Womyn to Bois |year=2005}}</ref> | * Ariel Levy, in her book ''Female Chauvinist Pigs'', interviews several bois, one of whom said, "To me, a boi is someone who doesn't have so much to prove.
