In my mind, All lesbians are lipstick, sexy and dig three-ways. No room, for dykes.
Now that I have thoroghly offended half the people on this site in someway or another...Moving On.

Tomboys can be straight or gay. To assume otherwise is judgemental and a waste of time. We all have different personalities.

What can one expect when they live in a sexist society. We like to think we are above discrimination, and perhaps we are moving further away from such things, but it is alive and strong, though often hidden. And it is sad yet predictable that men and women alike would assume.

So insulting is it to assume such a thing. It is not being a lesbian, but being judged and you are so utterly denied to live freely, that you as a woman are not allowed to move beyond the "norms" set by society. Perhaps if women were allowed freedom, men would become nearly obsolete.

Of course women should aspire to become a housewife, while their loving husbands go to work, because it is such a pleasantly sweet dream, oh it can be, but more often than not it isnt, and only the nature of a compassionate and giving being of immeasurable strength of mind and soul can achieve what is necessary.

Women should not stand behind or in front of men, their role is beside him, though often she is his crutch, his support, his life line, his advisor, his mother, his object, and what is there to do, men are so inadequate to realize this, and on the chance that they do, they become bitter. But no all, there are beautiful men out there as well, and women can be just as blind, and even more cruel.

And there are very effeminate lesbians out there, just as there are very masculine gays.

In the case of a daughter who is a tomboy, support her, or else you just might confuse her and then she may live not knowing what she wants or who she is. And in the event that she is a homosexual, I often think that lesbians have reached a higher state of love and spirituality than heterosexuals, though I fear to say that I do not feel that is is so in gays, who are so often consumed in methods to fill their internal pains, who have been so targeted to forsake themselves that love is so misplaced from them, perhaps gays feel unworthy of love.

I know I was perhaps too harsh and that I was stereotyping the typical heterosexual male, what a hypocrite I am, but it feels almost well placed.

Another unfair label.  Just because a girl or woman happens to prefer sports and mechanics over boutiques and crafts doesn't mean anything, necessarily.

Fictitious examples from TV include Samantha Miceli (Who's The Boss) and Jo Polniacek (Facts of Life).  Samantha was a sporty-type girl, while Jo was into motorcycles and mechanics.  They both dated and had boyfriends, and what happened?  They both ended up with husbands by the end of their shows.

Strange listings these days. . .bizarre and stale stereotypes are attempting to be revived. . .this listing obviously suggests that girls who (gasp) like 'boy-things' will (of course) become carpet-munchers. . .the truth is that a good number of girly-girls who play with dolls and fulfill your little dated image of what a 'girl' should be do indeed grow up and wind up feasting on the yeast. . .

Well, that's news to me!  I'm sure my husband would be thrilled . . .

Riiiight. Just because they like sports and beat up guys doesn't mean that they are lesbians. I know some girly girls who have played on that side of the fence that discredit everyone's perception of the so-called "typical lesbian."

What an awful assumption!!! Tomboys are not the future Lesbians for tomorrow!!!! Yet again people go by looks and sounds, before they judge correctly!!! Have to agree with the majority of posts on this one!

what is so wrong with being a tomboy? I was and am part tomboy. a friend of mine also had a lot of tomboy in her. we once said at the same time It's more fun being a tomboy why should all the athletic stuff be for guys only.  I agree that assumption is bunk.
