Five older brothers. Princess?

After our princess discussion I left class feeling conflicted about the way our discussion had gone. Growing up, I had five older brothers and one older sister. My brothers were into sports like crazy and our lives revolved around going from one sporting even to the next. My sister was a bit of a town boy and I enjoyed having five protective brothers around most times. Neither of my parents were the type to sit and talk about feelings. My family was tough, and known for being that way in the sporting world growing up. I was never into TV and had always hated cartoons! I enjoyed running and riding my bike and just hanging out with the guys. People always say "Oh you must be the princess!" and "I am sure you were spoiled being the baby girl." I maintain my identity and have always stayed true to what I like. My mother never pushed "princess like" items on my sister or me. However, I always was different than my older brothers and sister. I knew that and was never scared to be myself. I have always found myself enjoying art and creative projects. I swear I was born during the wrong time period and idolize woman like Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. For me I have always found joy in expressing myself through my style and personality. Do my tendencies towards things that are sometimes flashy and pink make me a societal morphed "princess?" I think not. I was raised with strong morals and an appreciation for hard work and determination. I place my family first and understand that the frills come later and though are enjoyable are rather unnecessary. I think that just as society has produced this mass market of "princesses" there are markets for every type of person you could possibly think of! The people that are trying to go against the norms and become a part of this counter culture are then buying from only specific stores or brands. Have they not bought into a different culture? I think reality for some can be skewed if they buy into anything too much. I find it hypocritical for some to be so critical on others when at the end of the day people just want to feel good about themselves. After I change out of my clothes (which I NEVER pay full price for) I am happy with who I am as a person. If people want to continue to judge me because I appreciate the detail of items and piecing together outfits before I go about my day, then go right ahead!
