Description I don't see anything wrong with a girl wearing what makes her comfortable - no matter what age she is. I know I feel most comfortable in baggy clothes, but society think that looks 'bad' on a female because we are so used to all female clothing being form-fitting. 'Babydoll t-shirts' are a good example of this and are often made of stretch material, while guy t-shirts are loose and thicker material.

I know a lot of girls who purposefully wear figure-hiding clothing while going out for walks and such - it's not common for people to accuse them of looking boyish. But the sad fact of our society is, that generally - it's safer to be a 14-year-old boy walking alone in the streets, than it is to be a woman walking alone in the streets.

It's a bit unfair that practical equals boyish or manly (depending on age), and girly is the same as uncomfortable (in my opinion).

I feel like most pictures of Kurik have had sweet and innocent eyes, she look very determined (if that's the word) here and I think that's what makes the most impact - or actually the whole expression (Am I writing weird things again?)
Nice picture!

I think that's horrible too, it's like a girl is not ever associated with strong and a guy as gentle etc...

Thank you, no you make perfect sense, I agree with you!

And if they are they are seen as slightly gender confused or something similar. Oh well, all these strange expectations.

Oh my, when I saw the thumbnail for this I thought "Is this Kurik's long lost brother?" or something, then I read the description and realized it WAS Kurik! ^^ *hug* and aww hun I'm so sorry about what bullies said to you when you were younger, so mean... ;-; I was bullied a lot too in school *hugs tighter* but we turned out okay, and now we have great friends like each other and all ^^ I'd hate to think of my life if I had never met you, ya know?
