Rick has given me his opinion of what a tomboy is. He says it is a woman who can be very feminine but who also can play on a co-ed softball team, play tennis, sail, ride a motorcycle, intelligently discuss sports with the guys, cook, sew, clean house, take out the garbage, chop wood and stoke the stove, feed the pets, and nurture children. He said, in other words, a tomboy is a well-rounded woman.

So I asked him what you call a man who can play football, race motocross, play tennis, play softball in a co-ed league and also can intelligently discuss fashion and hair styles with the ladies, cook, sew, clean house and nurture children. I asked, “Wouldn’t that be a well-rounded man?” Rick said, “No, that would be a sissy.”
