Well, who needs to be a "women" anyway? Maybe this is why I never liked the word "woman", and always felt more comfortable with "girl" or just "female": "women" have a lot of silly ideas about what they should be and do.

I could post my own long list of the traits-I-think-of-as-feminine of which I am most fond, but wouldn't that be then setting my own, additional, set of expectations (even if they're not expectations) from which you could then fall short?

You are who you are, and you know perfectly well that you are awesome. If anyone is complaining because you don't meet any particular stereotypical gender attribute, you let me know who and where and I'll come whack them with a frying pan (or verbiage, if you'd rather).

(/me idly wonders if The Sor Generation is growing up emotionally stunted from not regularly hearing Mister Rogers say that "you make each day special by just your being you" -- it seemed hackneyed and trite at the time, but now it seems almost radically profound. Can you say "world peace", boys and girls? Sure you can.)
