I heard that all the time when growing up! Now my mom thinks it's cool that I can ride 50 miles on a bike, that I go backpacking, kayaking and skiing. Now she calls me a strong woman instead of a "tomboy". OOHHH how I hated that word. Just because a girl likes sports doesn't mean she's a boy. I said this in another thread somewhere....if a lady does it then I guess it's "lady-like", right?
