在多姿多彩的現今社會，究竟是跨越了性別界限的中性女孩tomboy最受歡迎，還是浪漫柔美的女孩girly girl惹人垂憐？梅蘭竹菊，風骨不同，百花爭鳴才是春。

tomboy “假小子”

Tomboy is a girl who is not very feminine and behaves like a boy. 一個行為舉止像男孩的女孩子。

Tomboy的三點特質：

1 穿著男性化：They wear masculine-oriented types of clothes.

2 愛好男性化: They practice games and activities (often physical in nature) that are typically considered to be the domain of boys. For example, a tomboy is more interested in sports and cars than fashion or movie stars.

3 交友男性化: They like to make friends with boys.

Girly Girl “真女人”

Girly girl is a slang term for a girl or woman who chooses to dress and behave in a traditionally feminine style, such as wearing floral dresses, blouses and skirts, and talking about relationships and other activities which are associated with the traditional gender role of a girl. 花樣美裝，長裙曳地，說女人的話，行女人的事，一個女人味十足的傳統而古典的形象呼之欲出。
