Gender identification, expression, and stratification.

You sound like my type of girl. I always notice that females who have two or three older brothers are the ones that typically aren't afraid to get a little dirty, and are always either competitive or unafraid of things later in life. Not saying that you need the male influence for that, but it's a pattern I've noticed.
It's interesting that your mom herself was a tomboy, and that she never really forced on you not to be a girly-girl. LOL @ your cousins playing dress-up, I LOVE children like that! I played with Barbies like, three times in my life, and I absolutely loved it. It was one at my mom's friend's house, and she saw me and threatened (playfully) to tell my mom, which I begged her not to. She did, and my mom asked me about it... yet I denied like crazy. It's kind of sad that most kids (guys particularly) wouldn't be able to transcend their playful activities to what was meant for the opposite sex without a huge problem occurring.
I hope to raise my children that way too. It's ridiculous how people seem as if though they're DESTINED to be limited because they don't have the intuition to look past what society makes of them... all of this is just a social construct that you can live past. And if other people have a problem with it, may the fuck themselves. Amen.
