AFAICT, the reasons why I would expect such an episode to be more common than the gender-reversed version (and both come more from stereotypes than from any actual first-hand evidence -- I'm not even that sure they apply to real life) are 1) boys tend to be more overtly nasty to each other (e.g. asking embarrassing things on a dare) than girls do, and 2) boys tend to be less likely to turn down dates. And I wouldn't slap the label “misogynist” on either of those.
