Does anyone know why the frame on a boys versus girls bike seems reversed?
Any guy that has landed on that terrible bar between the seat and the handle bars has had to of asked this question?
What kind of sadist came up with something like that and why?

Strength, the design on girls bikes won't take the abuse of the heavier males jumping them etc...

both answers above are correct. I believe that woman who race use a boys bike. Also I saw a youtube video once that said the lower bar made it so the handlebars were closer to them.

Land on it too often, and you will be wearing a skirt !
Shed not for her
the bitter tear
Nor give the heart
to vain regret
Tis but the casket
that lies here,
The gem that filled it
Sparkles yet
