Think that ought’a work for boys, too?
Never claimed it would.
It's generally applicable, though:
(1) Find somebody who has money, food and/or shelter.(2) Find out something that you can do that would please that person enough that he provides you with some.
(3) Do what's needed.
(4) On the side, you may look for somebody who will provide you with better, at less effort from you.
“Think that ought’a work for boys, too?”
Nope.
Historically, it has only worked one way, with but very few exceptions.
Sorry. That’s one of the realities of life that no one is going to change.
