Mrs. Mac Energetic: ‘Girly Girl’ Or ‘Manly Woman’?

Full post here

So I'm having a conversation yesterday with my seventeen year old daughter, Ann. She is the epitome of all things girly (since birth) and is not suited for the "snakes and snails and puppy dog tails" type of existence. Having a way with word faux pases, she said, "Mom, have you always been a manly woman? Did you ever wear ribbons or skirts or dress up?" I, all the while flabbergasted, dropped to the floor laughing. Most days I wear comfy jeans, roll up my sleeves, mow the grass, gather firewood, put up canned goods, burn leaves, and enjoy both typical male and female type of work around the house/Mrs. Mac Energetic/Whatever Happened To ...

Question (for the Women of HBO): Are you a "girly girl" or a "manly woman"?
