Title: What Are You?


Shining-Dragon - February 21, 2007 10:09 PM (GMT)
I'm just curious, do more girls than boys watch db or vice-versa?

dolphinliss - February 21, 2007 10:36 PM (GMT)
I am a girl and proud of it. I think it's about equal for boys and girls watching dragon booster.

What are you Shining-Dragon?

IbanezJFS - February 21, 2007 10:43 PM (GMT)
Male

Sarah Frost - February 21, 2007 11:15 PM (GMT)
I'm a transgendered hermaphrodite who doesn't believe in the gender binary. Voted male for the hell of it.

Dragon Booster is pitched as a "boys" show (but then, almost all cartoons are), however I've read that women are more likely to go online to talk about their favorite shows than men. So it will be interesting to see which way the poll results swing.

Another Moordryd/Word fangirl. (Wordie's beginning to grow on me. :P )

Allye - February 24, 2007 01:35 AM (GMT)
Ton boy aka a girl who likes boy stuff :D

Sai - February 24, 2007 01:42 AM (GMT)
Hey Allye, I bet you and I could be friends, we probably have some in common other than we're both DB fans. Because I'm a ton boy too, at least acordding to more than half the people I know(actually everyone I know calls me a tom boy.

dolphinliss - February 24, 2007 02:21 AM (GMT)
Same here Allye and Sai. My mom refers to me as a tom boy sometimes. we could probably all be good friends :D

SilverDragon - February 24, 2007 03:06 AM (GMT)
And my vote makes the count reach an even 8 all.

Male, and damn proud of it.

Salazaar - February 25, 2007 08:47 PM (GMT)

right on Salazaar

i knew we would have more than one thing in common

DemonicFury - March 2, 2007 04:09 AM (GMT)
I'm a tom boy and I'm glad I am, because I really don't like the girly-girls that think they're all that. I believe that guys are probably more attracted to girls that like sports and stuff anyway. Also, I'm a Moordryd fangirl as well. :eye:

Sai - March 2, 2007 04:18 AM (GMT)
I agree with you on the tomboy stuff. I have some kids at my school that only talk about boys and other girly-girl stuff. I prefere to talk about video games, books, TV shows, and talking to boys about random stuff.

Sarah Frost - March 2, 2007 04:41 AM (GMT)
Some "girly-girl" stuff, like pink sparkles and long swirly skirts and the ability to deal with complex emotions, is very nice.

I blame the patriarchy for the rest of it, and I think it's no compliment to be compared to a boy.

MaiBeyblader - March 2, 2007 03:38 PM (GMT)
I'm a girl! :D Or a young woman. You know, either one, it's all the same.

Aniu_the_white_wolf - March 5, 2007 11:31 PM (GMT)
I'm female.
I think I'm a tomboy, I hate really girly things like pink *shudders* PINK is EVIL death to the pink stuff!

It's a colour. It's a nice light or nice bright colour, a shade of red that can look rather decent under certain circumstances.

Yes, it comes with unfortunate baggage of sit-down-and-shut-up-and-look-pretty and the confining petticoats of artifically constructed femininity, but I suggest you refrain from blaming the colour.

I use the word "tomboy" at times, but I'm a bit saddened at the number of "tomboys" on this thread--we shouldn't feel we have to call ourselves boys to feel like human beings with well-rounded interests and minds of our own. Women like talking about things other than physical appearance, women like exciting adventures, women like kicking arse. Isn't it more liberating for these things to be human qualities rather than limited to a gender we'll never (without surgery) become?

(Death to chartreuse, tho. UGLY!!!one! :P)

Sai - March 6, 2007 12:21 AM (GMT)
Sarah Frost you sound like my mother, she always says I should be proud of who I am and proud of being a women, well I am I just don't like dresses, skirsts, squarts, or any of that pinkfluffy lacey junk. I am proud to be a girl that likes boy stuff.

Sarah Frost - March 6, 2007 01:24 AM (GMT)
That's the problem, m'dear. :) It shouldn't BE boys' stuff. Calling it that only places it off-limits to women.

BlueBooster - March 18, 2007 08:23 PM (GMT)
iam a girl ^^ obviously boys don't wear blue that much XD

dolphinliss - March 18, 2007 08:58 PM (GMT)
like i said i am a girl that is refered to as a tom boy. i HATE pink and purple and skirts and dresses
(shreds dress)

Sai - March 19, 2007 01:10 AM (GMT)
SarahFrost you ment to call me "m'dear" to prove the point that I said you were like my mother, didn't you?

Natalilly - March 19, 2007 01:12 AM (GMT)
This only prooves girls are more likely to discuss said show on an internet discussion board.
That's no unusual though, there always seems to be more girls on discussion boards. Perhaps it's out inner need to rationalize, seek out varying opinion and well... chat.


Pink is not a satasus symbol of femininty. But I'm assuming most people claiming to !!!HAAAATE PIIIIINK!!!! are in their early to mid teens? I went through that phase, but i went goth instead. Pink is a colour. Woot. It's not a weak colour. I happen to like it. I like vibrant colours and pink happens to be rather attractive when bright.
It's fine to dislike colours as well. I dislike orange. But i don't have a vendetta against it.

It's been a long time since "frills" and "lacy stuff" have been in. The people who hate "girly stuff like that" are stereotyping the gender. Please stop, it's insulting.

I'm a girl. I happen to like dressing in clothes of a female cut. Simply because they fit better. I don't like wearing skirts, but I don't like wearing shorts either, and that I can attribute to hating the look of my legs. I wear pink. I also wear cammo print. I like make up and wearing my hair long. I like shopping for shoes and jewlery. I also play Nintendo (any generation of console) like a pro, rollerblade and read Shounen manga.
I hate chick flicks. I also hate horror and action films.
I do not HATE girly things.
I am not insulted by being compared to guys.
I am me.

coco - March 19, 2007 01:20 AM (GMT)
i am a girl and not ashamed to say like all the things boys like . I do like some girly things but i still and always will hate pink but it dosen't matter if you do like it because we all have favorites. but i do still like fashion .But not to the extreme.

Sai - March 19, 2007 01:28 AM (GMT)
Natalilly, how are the girls who hate "girly stuff like lacy stuff and frills" stereotyping the gender? And what are frills?

Natalilly - March 19, 2007 01:50 AM (GMT)
Because they seem to instantly assume that makes them a tom-boy. Disliking frills and stuff is taste based, not gender based, I rather resent having the ussumption that, because I'm a girl and don't classify myself as "tom-boy" I seem to instantly have 19th century tastes. Hell I know far girlier girls then I that hate lacy stuff and would scratch your eyes out if you called them a tom boy.
Lacey- made out of lace.

dolphinliss - March 19, 2007 02:06 AM (GMT)
i just don't like to wear too much pink, besides that it's an ok color. i like to play computer games(one of my favorites is Starcraft), i like to play with my DS, draw dragons and above all watch dragon booster.

Sai - March 19, 2007 02:32 AM (GMT)
Well I'm not saying that I want to be a boy. I really don't know what I am saying about calling myself a tomboy. I guess it's just cause I like doing the stuff boys do, and I don't really like the cloths they make for girls. I also grew up being around mostly boys, cause every family member I have around my age is a boy and the older girls and I don't like doing the same things.

Natalilly - March 19, 2007 03:29 AM (GMT)
if you want to be deemed then so be it. *shrugs* My qualm wasn't with the term tomboy, it's with stereotypication, and people's desperate need to explain themselves claim uniqueness and then try and label themself.

StarBooster - March 19, 2007 03:53 AM (GMT)
im a girl. im one of those girls that doesnt like wearing pink or skirts ^_^

Sarah Frost - March 19, 2007 03:54 AM (GMT)
I think the term "tomboy" has very sexist implications. A girl should be able to do human-like things such as climbing trees and getting dirty and playing videogames without viewing those things as making her "almost as good as a boy"--she and the boys who like to do these things aren't boys and tomboys, they're people who like to do these people things which aren't inherent to a particular chromosonal combination.

I like long, swirly skirts, and I like pink and I like computers and I hate playing sports and putting on makeup. None of these things has any relation to my plumbing, and I wish humans as a whole could get over the fact that some of us have boobs and others don't.

Allye - March 19, 2007 05:38 AM (GMT)
I'm still tomboy here XD I Ride and show horses and... I love Dinosaurse and... Dragon (ovius) and......Love to swim and let's see I'm very shy in person :D
But that's just me ^_^ and my fave color is Blue or Light blue ( points to Joe) (Joe roars and hits me with his tail) Ouch!! Joe! (joe laughs)

Nemi the Nen - March 19, 2007 05:56 AM (GMT)
Nongendered.

Okay, my plumbing is definetly female, so's my shape. But I don't completely think of myself as 'Female,' I'm Nen, Nemi, whatever name I feel like using, I'm me.

As a child I hated skirts, and liked climbing up things. I liked to watch bugs crawl, not tormenting them or catching them like the boys did, not going 'ewww' like the girls did.

I hated dolls and barbies, with a firey sadictic burning passion of ten thousand suns. And I still do.

I watched G.I. Joe and Transformers.

I loved unicorns.

I painted flowers.

I sucked at the stereotypical subjects girls did well in, and did better in math and science than all the boys.

I didn't like either the boys or the girls I met, and when I did like somene it was usually a girl, though. (But that may just be because most people I knew back then sucked.)

I prefered people older than me and people younger than me. Adults didn't judge, and littler kids thought I was cool just because I was older and playing a game with them.

Then I turned into a book worm.

Does any of this, seperately or on the whole make my gender alligned with my sex or out of synch with it?

I'm just a person, just me.

But, if I absolutely had to divide myself on some criteria that the population fit into on one side or the other, I'd have to pick something to do with the mind, =P.

Natalilly - March 20, 2007 12:28 AM (GMT)
I think it's decended past trying to label our genders, because, let's be honest, unless you're considering an operation to free you from your gender given to you at birth, the question is straightforward. "Tomboy" isn't a gender, it's a label. It's like Goth, emo, chav, punk, lolita- it's like alternative, neo-classic, larper, teenybopper, skater etc.

We've decended into discussing what makes us us and what label that pins to our chest.

All claims of "I have no LAAABEEEEL!" will be ignored. It's not right, but the world labels people, ALL people. i didn't make the world, I just try and live in it. Rebel and be labelled emo for your trouble.n Though you might not know your label- that doesn't mean you don't have one.

My personal label is subject to a small change. Sometimes I dress up all elegant goth in long dresses and complex hairstyles, gloves and lace coats and a top hat- usually only when there's some sort of goth thing I want to attend with best friend, who's Classic Lolita. Those moments I'm Elegant Gothic lolita. I look at wine goblets and shop for silver, my attitude changes to refined and we dine out in fancy places and talk about The latest Gown of Thorns and Vicious Venus fashions, I like Creed, Evenessence, the Medieval babes, Ackerkocker, Rhapsody the white stripes, Emily Autumn, Wendy Rule and Voltaire and attend musicals. It's a lot of fun.

But, usually, I'm just otaku. (Omake, actually, which is the female version- but not often used) I like Hello Kitty and Pucca. i dress in eye stabbing colours and have jewlery that consists mostly of bright beads and cute shapes, biggish earrings lots of stars and rainbows. I like Console games- especially RPG's like Zelda, and have more manga then most people have normal books (I've accured about 150 so far) I watch cartoons and listen to Morning Museme, Queen, Enter the Haggis, Alanis Morriset, Polyphonic Spree and Cobra Starship. I design cartoon/comic style t-shirts for a living.

I do some things that don't fit in wither.... but that's normal.

I also write exceptionally long posts.
