There's nothing wrong with tomboys. I can think of lots in sff -- Mia Havero (from Alexei Panshin's Courtship Rite), Trigger Argee (from James Schmitz' Hub stories), Torin Kerr (Tanya Huff's Valor series), many of Tamora Pierce's heroines, to name but three. I don't want to 'throw them under the bus',. But I would like to see more space for positive active depictions of women and girls who aren't tomboys, too. We all deserve to share this space: I don't want to take yours away and I'm rather saddened that your response is so harsh towards me. If anyone needs to make room it's men, not other women.
