[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 53 and grew up in England. Definitely a tomboy. I wore the label with a sense of pride back then.
However, I don’t like the term now because it implies certain activities and behaviors are for boys and I think that’s wrong. Riding bikes, climbing trees, playing sports, having short hair etc, are not “ boy” things. 
DD is 13 and enjoys the same things I did although different sports. I haven’t labeled her a tomboy and have not heard anyone call her that either..[/quote]

Yes!  I agree 100percent.  Let's stop labelling.[/quote]

OK, I agree. Let’s stop calling girls girls and boys boys cause that’s a label.

Well, stop calling Dr’s doctors and nurses nurses because that’s a label[/quote]

That’s completely different. Some labels are relevant. A profession is a profession. 
But labeling colors, clothing, sports, toys as for a certain gender needs to stop. 
A girl wearing a dinosaur shirt because she likes dinosaurs shouldn’t be labeled as a tomboy. [/quote]
