Um, actually, you DO have to be one to be worthwhile. And we HAVE ejected you from the sisterhood, did you not get the memo?
Kidding, of course, because then I would be ejected too.
I actually never connected to any of the characters in Little Women, I loved them as a group. I like aspects of Jo, of course, because she doesn't fit a mold-or became the mold?-but she wasn't my totem character or anything. Really, I was sold on that group as a family, which is why the death scene is so upsetting for me.
I was never a tomboy either-I oscillated between wearing dresses and wearing pants phases until I was about 10. For some years you couldn't get me into pants, other years I make yucky faces at dresses. My feeling? It all ties into me being bi-sexual. I can't choose one side or the other, so I go between the two. I love dressing up in pretty things-but it always feels like a costume and not ME. The only dresses I ever feel at home in are t-shirt dresses because they're comfortable as all hell and I'm not worried about flashing my ass to people by accident. I love pants too-but I'd rather be in a t-shirt with no pants on if you want to get down to it.
I am very male in a lot of ways, but in no way am I a complete tomboy! I'm far too emotional for that part. You see, this is why we get along so well.
