I'll take that for now. I actually thought the dark-haired girl with the dark blue dress got the most air-time - she was great. I loved it when the girl at the end said that actually running like a girl meant "like me" and did it how she would do it, not some mythical girly-girl.
And the boy who thought he hadn't just insulted his sister. There you have it, really - "girls/old people/boys/men/cyclists are SUCH a pain, oh I didn't mean you." Yeah, well, you kinda did.

And on reflection - I'm not going to pretend that there aren't a lot of girly-girls out there who stand with their legs crossed and look cute. We're not all sporty and I'm delighted with the diversity of womankind. Hell, I scrub up pretty well myself and enjoy it!

Yes, I'm not keen on it. It is a bit of a side-effect of silly shoes, and also of lack of athleticism, which is a problem with a lot of young women who've been brought up with vile PE lessons (don't get me started on that!). I watch people walk sometimes and am amazed how weak people's legs are - men and women.

I like that a lot.
Apparently, I hit like a girl. If I hit someone, they tend to stay hit. Most people who have been lumped one by an angry woman would have a rethink of their 'hit like a girl' thoughts
I was told that I climb like a girl. Yup, I do. It's a female thing. Good climbers do climb like a girl, they use the big muscle groups in their legs and bum to get themselves up a rockface and use their arms for balance. It's much less tiring, less macho for sure but if you watch good male climbers, they climb like a girl. When hubster was told that he climbs like a girl, he smiled and said 'thank you'.
Not a girly girl. Never have been, never will be

Girly girls are great, and so are girly boys. 
It's the macho types who aren't so great.

Nahhhh
A bad time to mention moon cups might be for example when you've got a stiffy like a telegraph pole and you're hoping to ravage the girl of your dreams ....

I don't do much "like a girl", to my great regret, I must admit: life would have been easier!
But I do ride my bikes "like a girl". This does actually annoy some of my cycling girlfriends, would you believe it?

One of my virtual FB friends has just had her last dose of chemo and things are looking good. One of her other friends posted "Well done, you fought like a girl, proud of you". I really liked this as this lady has had a long hard fight and is on the up now.

Very fond of girly boys m'self.Girly girls are great, and so are girly boys.
It's the macho types who aren't so great.
And the ones who could be macho twits but instead they are giving it some thought. I call that an Alpha-minus male. Good stuff!
