Everybody at my school doesn't want to be 'girly' or whatever their idea of girly is anyway.
What their idea of girly is I don't know, but I don't think it is very good anyway. If someone at my school was thought of as a 'girly-girl' they would immediately stand up for herself, many of the girls prove they are not girly in many different ways. They would say I take soccer oh and basketball too! Or they would say I am not! Or some people toss it right back and say well you are too! I remember years ago when Avery, Esme and I used to have li'l fights about that, one of us would bring up the subject when we were playing barbies and Avery would stand up right away knocking over the barbie house I had created and say: "I am a Tom-boy and you guys are Girly-girls!" Then esme would disagree right away and say: "But avery I am a tom-boy too." Then Avery would be like: "No, no your a girly-girl just like Hannah!" "Then i would start getting mad and be like: "How would you know which one I am!?" Avery would say "Because we are best friends! Do you think I would not know?!" then Esme would step in again and say: "Well I don't think I am a girly-girl!" Avery: "YES! you are! I am the only Tom-Boy here right now!"
And it would go on and on. I think its dumb now. Girly is cool, If you are a girl that is:D.
Pink, glitter, fancy, funky, spunky, cute. Girly. A skirt is so called girly.
Who cares?

hey, why can't you be both? I am. that's the luxury of being a wo-man!
unlike the guys; it would be really uncool if they suddenly took a liking to , say, lavender shirts or nice shoes.
we, on the other hand, can shape-shift like a chameleon when it comes to fashion, girlie or tomboy.
clicky shoes and skirts one day, overalls and converse the next.
it's good to be a girl
you got that right about girly men being uncool; that's the point about different genders having different functions. i guess it nice for the girls to have a broader range than we manly men do in this regard.
To try to answer your rhetorical question, "who cares?" Perhaps God does....
darnit! I wrote a whole reply to your girly post, and then when I had to sign in as me and not mum, it deleted it all! grrgh.
Okay, nutshell version: Girliness rocks! Girl Power! Horray for all things shiny and pretty!
I miss you babe. Keep commenting on my blog, it makes me happy to hear from you. I'll have internet access in TO, so we can stay in touch.
And now, off to finish packing!
"Oh I'm leaving on a jet plane..."
Oh, Hannah, I love you!
And I am also glad that you have discovered the wonderfullness of being a girl...it took me just until a few years ago to realize this myself (and I am still finding places where I am not yet convinced).
Yes, being girly is wonderful. Sadly, our culture doesn't like "girliness" very much, because they for some reason people think it is the same as being weak, stupid, whiney, selfish, insecure, and codependent. Instead, I think real girliness involves having an openness to being vulnerable, wisely cautious, modest, humble, and dying to one's passions for the causes of Christ. I used to want to be a tom-boy--not because it was a natural inclination, but because I felt I needed to "prove" something. All I ended up proving was that I was afraid to be who God intended me to be, and I missed out on a lot of good things. So be girly, or a tom-boy, or both, but be sure to be YOU!
Actually, a lot of my learning to be comfortable as a girl has come from watching both the adult women and you girls at church. You are all such an inspiration to me! Thank you.
Hannah.
I am amazed at what is happening in that brain matter of yours. I am so glad you are asking the questions...
