Re: OP

[hallokatzchen]

Nope. Like I said, not liking something doesn't mean you hate it or it's bad, it just means you aren't interested in it. Therefore OP (and other people) just isn't interested in things labeled as "girly".

According to OP's reply above, the secret is more like, "I've always preferred masculine things, so liking this feminine thing is new and foreign to me", and it seems like she's just wondering "Why do I like this when I've never preferred anything girly before?" so it sounds like she's a little "OMG" about it because it's different for her. Which makes sense if you (general you) have a sudden interest in things you've never been interested in before.

"It should simply be a happy exception to her own rule."

I'm sure it can be a happy exception to her rule eventually, but right now it sounds like she's still trying to figure out why she suddenly likes this particular thing, so she hasn't reached that point yet. There's nothing wrong with that since figuring yourself out is part of what life is all about.

and it seems like she's just wondering "Why do I like this when I've never preferred anything girly before?"

The wording of this secret makes it sound like so much more than that, though.

...not liking something doesn't mean you hate it or it's bad, it just means you aren't interested in it.

Too bad the OP herself says she wants to hate the DOLLS she's fallen in love with, which suggests pretty strongly how she feels about other dolls and girly things. She's not just surprised and mystified that she likes the dolls--she's appalled, because now she's picked up some of those icky girlygirl cooties, and how will she be able to look down on the rest of us now?

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

"Look down on the rest of us"? Oh, come on: projecting much. There is nothing whatever to suggest this is part of her worldview.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

C'mon, that's pretty delusional. She's so terrified of liking girly things she insists on calling the dolls "action figures". She repeatedly emphasized that she's masculine, and thereby implies it's an important label to her to be masculine and NOT feminine not just by identity and appearance, but even in name. That is, she implies she'd dislike anything if it were arbitrarily referred to as 'girly' or even 'girlier' than something else.

She doesn't seem slightly confused as you're implying. She says more than once that she HATES this. And herself. There's really nothing mild about her phrasing--she seems actually terrified and phobic of girly things.
