Thank you for this comment. Social stereotypes are so limiting. Being a woman I especially hate the tomboy vs. girlie girl characterization. Yes, I climbed trees and ran with boys and girls as a kid. We all played together. Yes I like to look nice in a feminine way but am not obsessed with it. I like to shoot guns and lift weights. I'm especially good at math and science and made a career of it. I also took time off to raise children. Am I a "tomboy"? No labels needed as I am a natural woman as are most women I know. Follow your interests and aptitudes. That's what I'm teaching my granddaughter.
I love it. Exactly how I've raised my daughters who are excellent athletes. They hate bugs and snakes but it's clearly genetic(!!)They are also very happy. Everybody says how naturally beautiful and smart and kind and genuine they are but men and boys today are either too intimidated or too emasculated to take action on the best catches they will ever come across. And there you have it!
"Up on Cripple Creek, they send me. If I sprang a leak, they mend me, I don't have to speak, they defend me, a drunkard's dream if I ever did see one!"
