I have to say, I resent the "tomboy" moniker. Women who don't wear skirts and dresses and make-up must want to be men. Wrong. I am a jeans and t-shirt girl, sneakers to work under my business casual pants and plain shirt, no make-up, etc. I wouldn't want to be a man for anything. I don't enjoy watching sports on tv or playing them for that matter. I just don't feel the need to waste my time and energy making myself attractive to men every single damn day.
The dichotomy that's implicitly set up is that a woman's primary motivation is either to attract a man or to be a man. There is definitely some space in between where I think most of us so-called "UT's" reside.
