Should Girls Act Like Girls?


Scout is a tomboy and drives Aunt Alexandra crazy with her failure to “act like a girl.” Girls today certainly have more freedom than they did in Scout’s time, but are there still different standards for boys and girls behavior? In today’s world do labels like “tomboy” make sense anymore? Is there the same kind of pressure on boys to “act like boys”? Why or why not?
