Because the expectations of sanity in Western society send conflicting signals to girls. In general, the terms used to describe a sane person in Western society are independent, confident, realistic, self-reliant, consistent, etc. The opposites of those terms are frequently used to describe typical female behavior in Western society, and that's where girls get the conflicting signals. Should they be female or sane (because you can't be both)?
