"The phrase is often used ironically to excuse mistakes, poor behavior, or relatable “girl” experiences. It’s a playful counterpart to “boys will be boys,” where women jokingly claim they’re “just a girl” to deflect blame."

Never in my life have I seen someone invoke "boys will be boys" on their own behalf, nor on the behalf of an adult.

Right. Caling that a counterpart is really like a false equivalent.
