[quote=Anonymous]I'm 40 and I thought tomboy was a common but outdated word even when I was a kid. The 90s were the "girls can do anything!" years, so reading references to tomboys liking to wear pants and climb trees and play sports came off very anachronistic. EVERYONE did those things. There weren't "boy things" that girls were shamed for doing. Nobody called other people tomboys, and I think someone who called herself that would have come off a bit like someone who held some negative stereotypes about the rest of the girls. [/quote]
