T is for tomboy >.>

hehe.. people put me in this category.. it's cool..
never figured out what it meant though..

soo. 5 sec google searches came up with the following

tomboy Look up tomboy at Dictionary.com
1553, "rude, boisterous boy," from Tom + boy; meaning "bold or immodest woman" is attested from 1579; that of "girl who acts like a spirited boy" is first recorded 1592.
hmm. fair..

A tomboy is typically described as a girl who behaves according to the gender role of a boy, though the term is also applied to women. This social phenomenon typically manifests itself in certain individuals through one or more of the examples stated below:

  • The wearing of typically masculine-oriented types of clothes.
  • The practice of games and activities (often physical in nature), that are typically considered to be the domain of boys.
  • The preference of school subjects typically considered to be the domain of boys (i.e. mathematics, the hard sciences)
  • The preference to befriend boys rather than other girls.

sandra you don't need to superimpose or think that you are a tomboy or "boyish by nature" really... nowadays the gender line is so blurred... some guys do girly things, some girls do boyish things but come on, in the end they are just general things that PEOPLE do... so whether or not what others say about you does not matter, maybe they could only say that you are not as feminine as others, but trust me, once again the term femininity can be debated so much. I'd like to debate the thing about the borrowing though - i reckon REAL and DEPENDABLE friends will return the stuff pronto so as to not let you down and so that you don't need to suffer losses =P

No way vincent. sure it's debated but girls will always fall into their stereotypical roles and the same with boys. Boys will always be thought of as fruity if they mince around. Sorry but it truly is these stereotypes that make our lives hard but they will always remain unfortunately.

So the word femininity also has a stereotypical meaning.

HAHAHA fake friends real friends. That's cute sandra
