I honestly think everyone have a "masculine" side and "feminine" side... it just depends on how much the person wants to show and is comfortable showing.

**Please note that the "girly side" is how I described my own feminine side at that time (since I was the most "feminine" during high school times.) It does not reflect on how I think girls normally are nor does it reflect on anyone else's feminine side. Only myself. I guess think of it as a persona.

If anyone is interested in hearing this long ramble, here is why I had those impressions of my own femininity at that time: I grew up being constantly told what is feminine and what is masculine. Whenever I do something "masculine" I would be told "that is not what a lady would do." Needless to say, there was a lot of things I "shouldn't do." Besides that, I was very self concious of what people think of me. My sexuality, my gender, everything. I felt the further I stray away from what SOCIETY and other people want me to be, the further I stray from having people who will accept me. Thus I pushed everything considered "masculine" away from me and thus.. I became a very frustrated person who is just afraid and insecure of everything. And at that time is when I felt I was the most "feminine," but in the mold that people around me feel are acceptable. But I am still a tomboy, and I am not by any means a "girly girl" (which I am not saying there is anything wrong with,) and I couldn't relate to a lot of the interests that girls have at the time. This comic is showing that I was accepting the other side that people around me usually consider as "masculine." And that was the side that I was trying to show less of. From there I was able to become my own definition of female.
