Anonymous Coward User ID: 8427946 United States 05/06/2012 03:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That makes sense as well. Again, I have no problem with tomboys. My 14 year old daughter is one. She likes to shoot guns, fish, etc... Pretty good shot I might add. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8427946 I read somewhere the best (or one of the best) snipers/shots in the US military is a chick. I am a firm believer that woman tend to be more accurate with firearms. My daughter, 14, shot my GLOCK 17 for the first time and kept all 5 shots in the torso target at about 25 feet. Again, it was not a 1 or 2 inch group, but extremely well for a person that has never shot a 9MM handgun before. She also shot my scoped .22 as accurately as I did. The grouping could be covered by a dime. |

Your given name as a boy had that turned out? Quoting: JATMON I'm Tad. Taddy.. Thaddeus. Nice to meet you. I guess I answered that one already, lol. Btw, do you have the masculine handset (finger length)? Guys mostly have ring fingers significantly longer than their index fingers. It's the opposite for the gals. Gender nonconformists cross over in this trait. I expect this holds for tomboys. No, I don't really have any masculine physical characteristics, it's all "in my head." The finger length is more of a marker than a physical characteristic. It's quite interesting. A lot of people have this marker and may not even realize it. [link to en.wikipedia.org] They said, you should learn something new everyday, I just did. My ring finger is longer than my index finger, I am a tomboy, always have been. I really think this is quite common though. |

The grouping could be covered by a dime. Maybe. Or maybe she's just a good shooter. Some people are just relaxed and confident and just natural good shots. Or perhaps body body fat percentage plays a part, maybe men are more rigid, maybe more muscle means more micro movements... |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 9002917 Australia 05/06/2012 03:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Any tomboys out there? I was a total gender nonconformist growing up and even as an adult have been drawn to "masculine" endeavors (the sciences as a field of study; various sports and adventure). Quoting: Girl Genius Don't get me wrong, I love being female and enjoy being a woman, but I just love getting down and dirty, whether it's breaking a horse, 4-wheeling or exploring a cave. If and when the SHTF, it's the tomboys and the country boys who will make it through in the largest numbers bet your clit is at lest 3 inches long. |

Any slight movement on the shooters part only gets magnified the further the bullet travels. I think woman tend to be more relaxed, and most men tend to overcompensate when shooting. |

Ailithe User ID: 15454992 United States 05/06/2012 05:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Also, women who turn out as tomboys only do so as theyre rejected by their female peers and accepted by the male (for obvious reasons) Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15605857 I was a tomboy long before I encounted female peers and I am 100% glad I grew up around guys/boys then girls. Girls they will stab you in the back and then deny it and act like your friend. Guys they just tell you off and tell you like it is. Then a few minutes letter forgive you for your few moments of stupidity hug it out and carry on. IMAGE ( [link to www.epiclol.com] ) |

If and when the SHTF, it's the tomboys and the country boys who will make it through in the largest numbers . Women have been reduced to makeup poisoned shoe consuming bimbos for the most part. Men are, for the most part, reduced to sports obsessed beer drinkers insecure about their penis. but Men have enjoyed the pleasures of the most meaningful of the activities in the last 100 years (activities as OP stated). These activities are more "intellectual", or more in tune with your "wild side". Sadly Women have been controlled by TPTB more so than men. Not for long (and not so much anymore). Not sexist.
