My wife was such a tomboy that one of her male friends when she was young asked his mom if she could sleep over and the mom said no because she is a girl. His response was, “[name]’s a GIRL?!”
And yet she is more woman than any woman I’ve ever met. Hence the “wife” part. :)
Libs really need to lighten up.
My daughter was a big time tomboy until 5th grade, if I was out working she was with me, if I was out shooting she was shooting, if I was going fishing she wanted to go. If she went to my parents and spent the summer she took about every step my grandpa took. Around 5th grade the girlie-girlie thing kicked in and the tomboy thing trailed off.
She still goes tomboy from time to time, she will grab a pistol and the dog and take off in the woods around our house walking and exploring and at times will find me outside repairing something or building something and is right in the middle of it.
I wish libs. would let kids be kids and stop their stereotyping about which they rail all the time.
