But...but...why stop making word jokes? That was pretty good >.<
Oh, wait, off topic isn't allowed here, huh? *sowwy*

Back on topic- when I first met my husband-creature, we hung out with a group of friends off all guys except me and one other female person (she was my friend for a few years before she introduced me to "the gang"). I say "female person" because although she was married to a man, she didn't follow any of the "gender rules" of a "girl". She was having affairs with women, dressed in men's clothing, and kept her hair cropped very short. She had the appearance of what was referred to back then (1999) as "butch".
I, on the other hand, was teased by the gang and called "prissy" because I wore makeup, styled my hair, and liked to wear skirts & fishnet stockings (albeit with stomper boots- but everything above the boots was "girlie").
I played Magic: The Gathering, D&D, collected comics, loved love Star Wars and Star Trek (my first Con was Star Trek in Vegas in '99), was a video game junkie (old school stuff- pre-NES, though I did own and play an NES at the time), and hung out in collectible comic/toy shops- which is where I met my friend who introduced me to the gang. I would say the only major hobby I had that was different from the guys was that I collected Barbies - but one of the guys collected Barbies, as well. Oh, wait... I did do one thing none of the guys did: I loved going clubbing AND pubbing. I was a Dart Bitch (no, really, I have several sets of flights that say "Dart Bitch" on them LOL).

So, even though I was a tomboy, I was called "prissy" because of my appearance. I was slightly offended. Was I wrong for being offended? Should I have taken it as a compliment? Should I have just shrugged it off because I am a heterosexual female?
