feminism according to me...

So I swam, run, played football.
"Stop whistling" my gran would say, "it's not lady like..."
"I don't want to be a lady, I want to be me!". The tomboy inside me was screaming out. Am I a boy girl...was I meant to be a boy...?

NO! I'm a girl who finds the things that girls like... BORING...

But cliches, stereotypes, all the things that the humans with a blinkered vision say is "normal" tends to put a stop to many things...and makes many people unhappy...I'm very lucky!

There is no rule book which really tells us what is wright and what is wrong when it comes to us being who we are...
If we try to live by someones else's ideals in the long run we'll be unhappy...

So I run, train Martial Arts, ride a motorcycle, dive, swim, drive like a lunatic at times, ski of any mountain. I will go back to horse riding as well.

Am I a woman...? hell yes...but I AM who I want to be, forgetting what the cliches and stereotypes are, not really caring what most people will think about me. It's beyond the realms of their understanding, so I won't waste my time trying to explain WHY?

To me that's feminism...I will be who I want to be and I will not be told that I can't do it because I'm a girl, or I will not be as good as doing it because of it.

So what kind of man could fulfill wishes of a girl like me...?
