Re: When did gender become a thing for you?

(Anonymous) 2013-10-09 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
that word just meant "girl who has some or many boyish traits

But that's the thing: Why is it "boyish" to climb trees or play Army, or go hunting? It's not. These are perfectly valid things for girls to do, and the reason I hate "tomboy" every time I hear it is because it's a word that says "you're doing *~boy~* things, take this label!" When, no. I'm not doing BOY things. I'm just doing things.

I mean I definitely agree with you on that (about those not being ~boy~ things). But many people still define them as such, language isn't perfect, and it's just sort of a catch-all term to describe a certain personality type/set of interests. It's also useful when talking about children and gender roles.

I'm glad you pointed all this out though. It's given me something to think about :)
