Many cultures require boys to prove themselves before they can claim to be men, whereas all girls grow up to be women. In South Africa, various groups conduct initiation ceremonies for young men, such as the amaXhosa Ulwaluko. In a study, when students read about individuals who felt they had lost their gender identity, losing womanhood was hard for them to understand and they often assumed it must be due to a sex change. In contrast, losing manhood was more easily attributed to social factors, like financial inability to support a family
