Gendered English verbs question

[pauamma]

Does your English dialect (sociolect, topolect, subculture jargon, or whichever names apply) make a difference between "fanboying" and "fangirling" other than the gender and or gender expression of the person doing it? IOW, do they denote or connote the same range of actions or behaviors (maybe in gender-differentiated ways) or do they refer to substantially different actions or behaviors? MW has "fangirling" as a verb but not "fanboying", AHD has neither, and I don't trust Urban Dictionary (which has both) on this.

I don't use those verbs so I can't say with any confidence.
