Re: feminists hate tomboys?

"Feminism" isn't one movement, is the thing. There's no hivemind that states what's right and wrong in a feminist mindset-- and in some ways that's good, but in some ways that's really bad and it hurts the entire philosophy behind in.

So yes, there are vocal feminists that believe that, without realizing (or worse, knowing and not caring) that they're throwing a huge swath of women under the bus. There are also vocal feminists that believe exactly the opposite, that conforming to stereotypically feminine behaviors and actions is a bad thing, thus throwing all feminine-presenting women under the bus instead.

That's been my experience as well. Almost any time someone says, "feminists think X," it's going to be some crazy generalization, whether the speaker agrees with it or disagrees with it.

I don't remember anti-tomboy being a thing, but somewhere it probably is. Doesn't sound like good feminism to me, though.

Mostly, when I read things by self-described feminists, I see lots of explaining that you can be as girly/ungirly as you want and it doesn't matter. But that may be because I tend to read people who are tolerant and sane, and tend not to keep reading those self-declared "feminists" who are totally hateful.

And anyone who looks at my work can probably tell that I'm totally pro-tomboy and pro-superfemme, and they should know not even to try to give me that nonsense.
