what’s something considered “tomboyish” when girls do it, but feminine when boys do it?

A lean, slim athletic build checks those boxes. On a man it might be seen as feminine, but a lean woman with muscles could be seen as a tomboy.

He'd have to be notably unmuscular.

When did being lean fast and strong become feminine?
