I couldn’t agree more with everything you said. It’s SO important to feel comfortable being who we are, and it helps to know there are other girls out there like us.

I live in NYC and that line is even more pronounced at times.
I’m a girl through and through. I’m a girl that likes guns, quads, mud, make-up, heels and sparkles. The most important thing is that I like myself. No, not like – LOVE. I love myself especially since I became completely comfortable in my own skin. While I might not be as feminine as the full time girly girls, hearing a hot, rugged man say “You’re such a girl” while I’m covered in mud or smell like gun powder, makes me smile. I know who I am and if a woman rolls her eyes over the things I like to do, well then she’s just missing out on lots of FUN. I’ll join her for Martini’s for sure, when I’m done having a blast (no pun intended).

It makes all of us women who are different feel absolutely beautiful and accept who we are. The things that make us different, the hunting, the guns, martinis, pedis, etc are what make us amazing!

That to be an individual is daring and risky, but to be part of the pack and think as everyone thinks, just for the sake of “fitting in” is common practice.

As I get older (and wiser) I find I no longer am attracted to what the masses like, but almost prefer what is considered “different”. And not just for the sake of being different, but for the sake of being a strong willed individual who can have an opinion that doesn’t have to be the same as everyone else.

My deepest and utter respect for this wave of women, proudly standing up and saying “I am a women, and I love guns and so can you”. To every female blogger, shooter, writer, and public figure using your voice to encourage women to be brave enough to stand up and say “this is what I like, and who I am, even if tradition and convention doesn’t encourage it”….you are a hero, and you are making a difference in the world.

Great article, keep em coming!
