Are most Generation Y girls tomboys?

Question

It seems nowadays being a girly-girl is the exception to the rule and most girls are tomboys. Almost everyone of both sexes wore jeans at my school, it was like an unofficial uniform!

Answer 1

I have two teenage daughters and neither is what I would consider to be a tomboy. They also aren't girly-girls either. Both are somewhere in between. They might wear jeans but they also wear dresses.

Answer 2

get over it, you can't go back to the sixties or seventies.. or marry a grand-ma age.

Answer 3

Just because a girl wears jeans, it doesn't mean they're a tomboy. i mean what year is this 1955? and why is it that we're now suddenly stereotyping people into these roles that may or may not be just because of something's they do or say? why can't a girl who plays football is automatically a tomboy? or a girl who's favorite color is pink and wears skirts is automatically a "girly-girl"? It's thinking like that that's keeping this nation from achieving full equality. Next your going to be saying that all guys who are g*y are into brad pit or all girls who are g*y wear leather jackets and short hair. stop stereotyping people (boys AND girls) and being so closed minded.

Hi.  

I have noticed the opposite man.  Most females are very girly.  It is odd to come across a s**y female who can still fish, play sports, and work right next to her man.  

When my mom was raising me, she would tell me all the time: "you will have to fend for yourself.  Just because you're a girl doesn't mean you can't; because YOU CAN.  Now get to work."  That was my mom.  

My dad had me alongside him all the time.  When dad worked on the truck, I would be up under it with him.  When he rode his Harleys, I was on the back.  When we added on, painted the house, re roofed; guess who was with dad doing all that?  Me and my mom.  She wasn't no punk, and either am I.  But in the same token, we are still ladies.  In my neighborhood, there was only one other girl.  Now sometimes I would play dolls with her, but the majority of the time, I was out on the playground with the boys.  We played football and basketball, and rode bikes.  All of my cousins were boys, and they were kinda rough.  They were country.  And I had to hold my own with them.  They didn't show me any favors for being a girl, I had to do things as good as they did.  They would punch me and knock me down just like they did to each other, and I had to learn real quick how to punch HARDER!

I work with all men now.  I'm the only female doing labor right alongside my guys.  I hold my own, and the guys respect that.  But my nails are always done, hair kept, skin clear, jewelry, fit figure, and I am not unattractive in the least bit.  There ARE women out here who can hold their own and still be a feminine woman at the same time.  It depends on how your parents raised you.

Answer 5

I disagree with that. We generation Y girls are diverse, I've seen many girly-girls, goths, emos, but few tomboys. I'm somewhere in between. I rarely wear dresses but I like to do my hair and do not wear guys' clothes and I also like to wear pink.

Answer 6

so jeans make girls tomboys?

wtf? everyone wears jeans,

do you expect us to wear skirts and dresses daily???

Answer 7

Naw! It doesn't matter what the state of the clothes are the bodies chemical makeup betrays the woman or the man.

The tomboys are very much girls and do like to be treated as ladies despite what the individual woman or girl would have to say about it publicly.

Answer 8

trust me, jeans don't equal tomboy. I mean wtf do you want us to wear, skirts and dresses all the time? Sorry, that's not going to happen.

Answer 9

Hardly, I find the Gen Y'rs, to be incredibly girly! Jeans are still popular but if you look at then they are decked out with rhinestones and embroidery! Way girly!
