Can bruh girls/tomboys be also sensitive and emotional?

[Anonymous]

you know Im just posting this cause my friends are debating whether I'm a bruh girl or a hiii girl...(which is pretty stupid that they are taking the labels that seriously but whatever) They are stuck because Im emotional and really nice... but I have a tomboy laid back attitude, and I do nothing feminine. I am shy and quiet and emotional and I don't insult anyone (for fear that they will take it personally) But I do parkour, skateboarding, gaming, I don't know how to brush my hair, I don't wear makeup ever (it hurts my skin), idgaf about gender at all, and I don't do stereotypical girly things. But I am not one to bash someone for being feminine, and I am introspective and would talk about someones feelings for hours and hours. Apparently my friends think that

masculine people cannot be friendly and can't be emotional? like get that crap outta here... So because I like gaming, it automatically means that I'm an insensitive prick, yeah okay?

Yes ofc

No, not really

Everyone - regardless of gender and presentation - can be sensitive and emotional. That's not exclusive to anything.

Your friends are really weird to be so obsessive.

I was (and still am) a tomboy, but I'm very much sensitive to emotion and in tune with how I feel. If anything, it's because I'm sensitive to emotion that I feel most comfortable being a tomboy. I know what and how I feel and express it.

I'm just also very rational and usually reasonable. Whereas the "girly girls" I know are often the types to be a bit too overblown in their emotions and sensitivity (aka they like to read into things where nothing is there).

But honestly, there's some femme ladies who are near emotionless and some tomboys who cry at the drop of a pin. Just like there are "sensitive jocks" and emotionally incapacitated nerds.

Your neither. Your YOU. So don't adhere to labels. Your interest is just different. that doesn't make you less feminine. Those are stereotypes. You being sensitive and emotional has to do with personality type. Not sex or gender. Though yes, women are born more emotional than men. But what I find concerning is that you don't know how to brush your own hair which is a hygiene issue. Not again, a gender issue.

thanks for the reply! you're right. And yeah I was overexagerrating the hair thing, I know how to brush my hair, but I only know how to put it up in a ponytail and thats it.

Masculinity is associated with not showing emotions but that doesn't mean men don't have them, and bottling up emotions can lead to toxic behavior which is you might think of someone aggressive and insensitive even tho that's not true of everyone.
Woman were always expected to be more fragile and emotional so they feel more comfortable expressing themselves. That's the difference between men and women, not how emotional we are but how open we are about those emotions.
So you can be more masculine then other girls while still openly talking about feelings because you don't live with the standards expected of a man.

masculinity does not equal being emotionless. Do you, make up your own label.

Yeah, I'm a tomboy myself and I do cry to my friends a bit.
