What are the qualitie of a tomboy?

Question

sorry *qualities

Answer 1

A tomboy is typically described as a girl who behaves according to the gender role of a boy, though the term is also applied to women. This social phenomenon typically manifests itself in certain individuals through one or more of the examples stated below:

* The wearing of typically masculine-oriented types of clothes.
* The practice of games and activities (often physical in nature), that are typically considered to be the domain of boys.
* The preference of school subjects typically considered to be the domain of boys (i.e. mathematics, the hard sciences)
* The preference to befriend boys rather than other girls.

The word has been recorded to be used in the English language since 1553, primarily to describe a "rude, boisterous boy," from Tom (a common boys' name as in 'Tommy', meaning soldier) + boy; the meaning "bold or immodest woman" is attested from 1579; the present use is first recorded in 1592.

Historically, tomboys have been defined, as suggested in the examples mentioned above, by "boyish" behavior (like more physically active, technological, and scientific interests) and wearing boys' clothing. In recent times, as the use of traditionally female clothing such as dresses, blouses and skirts steadily declines among Western females, the distinction has become more and more one of behavior. A general increase in the popularity of woman's sporting events, and other activities that were traditionally male-dominated, is today broadening tolerance and lessening the impact of "tomboy" as a pejorative.
