Did you know that a girl can love sport, be a semi-tomboy and NOT be on the boys' sport teams and hate dressing up?
Wattpad girls definitely don't know that.
I'm not a girly girl. Of course there are girls that are more tomboyish than I am, but I'm still more to the boyish side (or I used to be, I think I'm very in the middle now...maybe).
I am a HUGE rugby fan (I know more about the sport than most guys I know), I am definitely more of an outdoorsy person than my brother (I'll walk in the mud, be covered in dust and he's this super clean freak), I'm less afraid of spiders than most guys I know, I love camping (PROPER camping), I love cars and used to have pretty broad knowledge on the topic (my life got busy), I love wearing my Land Rover cap, I'm clueless about fashion and I'm a t-shirts and shorts kinda girl.
I guess you can say I am/was a tomboy, but I never played on the school's boys rugby team (No offense, but women playing rugby professionally is really gross to me). I didn't just hang out with guys. I didn't wear boys clothes (except when I went out riding my bike in the mud, but that was also just PT shorts and a plain black t-shirt) and hardly any of the other stereotypes of tomboys.
I've also always loved playing with my Barbie dolls, baby dolls, makeup (I don't particularly like makeup now, but that's because it clogs my skin and causes breakouts... And it takes time), toy high heels, handbags and twirly dresses.
The same girl also played in the mud, asked for a toy Ferrari on her 11th birthday and had more guy friends than girl friends.
Even now, you'll bore me to death talking about fashion and movie stars, but dressing up a bit makes me feel good and I celebrity crush hard on some celebs.
The point I'm trying to make is that people can be in between.
Just because a guy dresses well doesn't make him feminine, nor does a girl loving sport make her masculine.
To prove a point: Morné Steyn is the kicking king (he's an absolute legend of a rugby player) and he has admitted to not being able to live without his hand cream and there is NOTHING feminine about him.
