I agree, Erki, there is a double standard.

Totally. Skate betties rock! Same with chicas who play hacky sack.

I’ve always wondered why men constantly have to affirm their heterosexuality by putting down women and gays. Is their sexuality so vulnerable that any slightly feminine trait/action will sway them to the other side?

There is always the hope that if a girl is a tomboy, she will “outgrow” it. But if a boy is too feminine, then apparently he is doomed for a life of gayness. Why do we constrain ourselves?

I can’t wait till the time when the phrase “You throw like a girl” becomes a compliment.
