Alexandra asked:
I use the word sissy reluctantly because i can’t think of another word for a male tomboy. But I can think of movies and books where girls act tomboyish and it is always seen as cute or positive or fun, but you hardly ever see the opposite for guys… is this because it is frowned upon so much, or is it because people do want to encourage tomboyism but not the opposite for boys or does it just show bias in the way we see different people. Just wondering how others see this or even if they noticed.
