As the 3rd meaning of "girlie", Macmillan Dictionary says "Suitable for girls and women rather than boys or men".
girlie - definition of girlie by Macmillan Dictionary
I' looking for an antonym of "girlie" of this meaning.
For example, a young couple who have daughters but no son invite an another couple with a little son to their house. They have dolls but they don't have toy cars.
"Sorry we don't have any ( ) stuff in this house. We only have daughters."
This Wikitionary page says "butch", "manly", "masculine" are antonym of "girlie", but they don't seem to fit in this case.
girly - Wiktionary
"Boyish" doesn't seem to fit, either. Could anyone tell me a suitable word please?
(I don't mean to discriminate on the basis of gender.)
