Tomboy: The Surprising History and Future of Girls Who Dare to Be Different

by Lisa Selin Davis Author

In a world where many people are discovering the nuances of gender, theirs and those around them, Lisa Selin Davis chronicles her own observations on the matter through her experience of raising her daughter. In a world where people increasingly embrace gender nonconformity and go beyond binary labels, to hear her daughter adopt the label "tomboy" early on spun gears in her head. Like many other books on the matter of gender, she explores this term through history, with neuroscience and psychology, through nonconformity of norms and sexuality. This particular story tackles the term through an angle of its own: an appreciation for the identities girls, women, and nonconformists that defy boundaries and allow for authentic self expression.

I think the insinuation is that violence CAN solve problems. Thomas Jefferson always knew there would be a time when we would have to re-revolt. Just because you are environmentally friendly, a vegan, or a dumpster diver doesn't mean you have to passively take it in the ***.

Contradictory? You got it. That isn't to say that anyone buying a sticker here is going to be though, and that looks like the point to me.

Jennifer -- it's healthy to consider more than one worldview at the same time.

Voting doesn't change capitalism.

Aren't some of these stickers hypocritical to each other?
