Althouse: "I mean, I'm a girl and I like being a girl, but I've just never been into it like they have. I think I get that from my dad."

April 19, 2017

"I mean, I'm a girl and I like being a girl, but I've just never been into it like they have. I think I get that from my dad."

"I'd say I'm more of a Jenner than a Kardashian... I was a huge tomboy... I had a phase where I wore boys' clothes. I was always hanging out with guys. I've always connected with guys more."

I think of Kari Byron, ex female host of Mythbusters. She's definitely a tomboy... she does guy things better than most guys. But she's all girl too, and very proud of it.

The world needs more Kari Byrons, and a lot less SJWs and Oberlin grads.

I mean....It worked for Groucho, but he was a comedian.

I clicked through to the Armani web site. It appears that mental illness is fashionable. All the models have that I-hear-voices look.; 4/19/17, 10:37 AM

bleh said...: She's not in any way a Kardashian. Robert was not her father. Kris stopped being a Kardashian when she divorced Robert and married Bruce. Kendall is either a Jenner or a whatever-Kris-was-before-she-got-married.

Kendall's half-siblings are Kardashians.; 4/19/17, 2:00 PM
jaydub said...: My wife grew up a tom boy and it continued well into college where she played all the intermural sports and quartebacked the women's flag football team. When she graduated and went to work, she was the first player chosen in the mixed sexes softball leagues, even ahead of the men because a woman who could play with the men was the most valuable commodity on the diamond in a mixed league. But, she's also a mathematician and IT specalist, and she holds her own very well in male dominated professional areas, too. She can also fix just about anything - I remember a neighbor lady several years back whom I overheard talking to another neighbor lady about something or another that had broken, and she said "give it to Carol. That bitch can fix anything." I'll always remember that because that sort of sums her up (the fix it part, not the bitch part.) She's the primary reason I have so little use for whining feminists. She beats men at their own game, but also commands respect from our female friends. She's not the most feminine woman, but she is also very attractive and compelling in her late sixties. Any way, I'm a lucky man who's thankful no one tried to redirect her in her childhood years when she was beating up the boys.; 4/19/17, 3:30 PM

Why should "they" do that?

Joe said...: My oldest daughter was a tomboy, but still collected more shoes than is reasonable.

Funny thing is that she tried to raise her oldest daughter a tomboy and her daughter refused. My oldest granddaughter is independent as hell and can be very rough-and-tumble, but has always been the girliest girl you can imagine.

(And Kendall Jenner is, by far, the best looking of the bunch.); 4/20/17, 2:00 PM
