What makes a lady a tomboy

A tomboy is a girl that doesn't really act like
a girl. Tomboys don't really have to wear guy
clothes, but they can wear things that are
more relaxed to them opposed to girlie girls
who will wear skin tight clothes and high
heels a lot. Tomboys will not act like most
girlie girls. They will make their own
decisions and they really don't want or need
anyone elses opinions. They can be involved
in more rough activities, like football or
hockey, and can be more interested in
mechanics, computers, video games...
tomboys don't really care about dirt; they can
wear the same pair of jeans for days and not
really give a dang. They do tend to hang
around boys a lot, but they might also have
some other tomboy friends. Sometimes if
they have a girlie girl friend, it's could be
because it's a long time relationship, or
maybe it's a friend of one of their friends.
Tomboys are not to be confused with stock
show girls. Some tomboys tend to catch the
attention of boys because they happen to
have a lot of common intrests with boys.
Some tomboys may notice, but don't really
care.
Some reasons to cause a girl to be a tomboy
would be that she grew up with a lot of guys
around, like if she has a few brothers or if she
grew up just with her dad. As a microbiologist i have to analyse it scientifically
Because they behave like boys in some
respects, tomboys provide an opportunity to
explore why the sexes differ in those ways.
Although the causes of differences within the
sexes may differ from the causes of
differences between the sexes, it is a
reasonable hypothesis that tomboys and
typical boys have been subject to similar
influences with respect to some traits. But,
because tomboys behave like typical girls in
many respects, they also provide an
opportunity to delineate factors that operate
universally within-sex, making members of
one sex similar to each other and different
from members of the other sex.
The most persistent controversy in the realm
of sex differences is the degree to which they
are caused by biological factors, gender
cognitions, or social experiences (Ruble &
Martin, 1998). The most influential biological
hypothesis is that prenatal androgens cause
sex differences in the brain that subsequently
cause behavioral sex differences. Studies of
congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), in
which genetic females are exposed to high
levels of prenatal androgens, suggest that a
core component of tomboyism--sex-typed
toy play--is influenced by early androgen
exposure (Berenbaum & Hines, 1992). Thus,
it is reasonable to hypothesize that tomboys
were also subject to atypically high early
androgen action, either because of high
androgen levels or sensitive receptors.
However, in contrast to girls with CAH,
tomboys do not appear to show
morphological changes that would suggest
that they were exposed to excess androgens
early in development, such as masculinized
genitalia. A classic study of female rhesus
monke ys showed that genital and behavioral
masculinization could occur independently,
depending on the timing of hormonal
androgenization (Goy, Bercovitch, & McBrair,
1988). Consistent with this possibility, Udry
(2000) has reported that women exposed to
higher levels of sex hormone binding globulin
(a molecule necessary for testosterone
action) during the second trimester of fetal
life were more psychologically masculine
than other women; masculinity was unrelated
to hormone exposure during the first or third
trimesters. Unfortunately, it is currently
impossible to determine retrospectively which
females have been exposed to the highest
level of prenatal androgen. …            I hope this article has been able to enlighten you about the reasons for the tomboy nature in ladies generally thanks for viewing
