Like with boys, how they have it so easy. How you have to pretend that you don't notice them... noticing you.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker resents how easy boys seem to have things, while girls must act as though they haven't registered being looked at. It's a wry complaint about the small performance of indifference: noticing that someone notices you, yet hiding that you have.
