History PlayingWith / TenderTomboyishnessFoulFemininity

** Sam [[TookALevelInKindness tries to be nicer]] because she don't want to be a rude tomboy, while Julie thinks [[BeingGoodSucks being nice isn't satisficed enough]] while [[EvilIsCool being mean brat is cooler]], so she [[TookALevelInJerkass becomes a jerk]].
** Julie starts [[WhosLaughingNow revenging against people who treats her like a shit]] [[RealWomenDontWearDresses due to her girliness.]] Meanwhile, Sam has no reason to revenge because she can get away from them and she has been already EasilyForgiven to everyone else.
** A [[HeManWomanHater misogynic]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext wizard]] who is a firm believer in RealWomenDontWearDresses casts a spell that will turn all [[GirlyGirl feminine women]] ranging from [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak tomboys with girly streaks]] to full blown {{girly girl}}s into {{jerk|ass}}s[[note]][[CompleteMonster Or even worse]] if they’re [[ProperLady that]] feminine.[[/note]] so that people will think his cynical view on feminine women was right all along.[[note]](Doubles as {{Exploited|Trope}})[[/note]]

* '''Played For Drama''': Julie bullies and harasses Sam for not being feminine and pretty enough, causing Sam to hate her masculine behaviors and activities, and even begins to [[DrivenToSuicide contemplate suicide]] due to it.

** Sam is a well-mannered [[SensitiveGuy sensitive]] NiceGuy and enjoys cooking and sewing while Julius is an aggressive [[TheBully big bully]] JerkJock.

** All GirlyGirl characters [[AlwaysChaoticEvil are portrayed as]] {{Complete Monster}}s while all {{tomboy}}ish [[TheLadette ones]] [[AlwaysLawfulGood are portrayed as]] [[IncorruptiblePurePureness obstinately good.]]

** This starts an {{Unfortunate|Implications}} stereotype about girly girls. If being girly is mean and being boyish is nice according to the way Sam and Julie behave, then people will [[RealWomenDontWearDresses shun women for being feminine.]]

*** Alternately, the CharacterDevelopment causes Julie to become a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and shows everyone that GoodIsNotNice.

** ClassPrincess {{Fashionista}} Julie is an AllLovingHeroine, while Sam is a StrawFeminist {{Psycho|Lesbian}} ButchLesbian.

* '''Inverted''': Sam is a {{Tomboy}} and the aggressive, {{Hotblooded}} bully who [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale likes to physically attack guys]] while Julie is the [[TheCutie sweet-hearted]] EnglishRose {{fashionista}}.

*** As mean as Julie was, she was never outright sexist. [[HeWhoFightsMonsters As a result, the femininity shaming mob has officially grown worse than Julie,]] or they are already the HateSink characters at first.

** Sam and Julie have similar fashion senses and they even share some interests, but Sam is an energetic [[NoIndoorVoice loud]] PassionateSportsGirl who gets along with the boys better than [[BuxomBeautyStandard Buxom]] HeadTurningBeauty Julie, [[GossipyHens who likes gossips]] and looks down with anyone but the GirlPosse and her MrFanservice boyfriend.

** Both of them are Villainesses but Sam is a boyish AffablyEvil while Julie is a girly JerkWithAHeartOfJerk.

** All GirlyGirl characters [[AlwaysChaoticEvil are portrayed as]] [[CompleteMonster Complete Monsters]] while all {{tomboy}}[[TheLadette ish ones]] [[AlwaysLawfulGood are portrayed as]] [[IncorruptiblePurePureness obstinately good.]]

** The show has plenty of TomboyAndGirlyGirl characters of various levels of morality and common sense favoring neither of them, even if Sam and Julie in isolation would seem to be playing it straight. So people are able to distinguish gender expression from morality. Plus none of the characters are stupid enough to think all girly girls are as mean as Julie.

*** As mean as Julie was, she was never outright sexist. [[HeWhoFightsMonsters As a result, the femininity shaming mob has officially grown worse than Julie.]]

** Alternatively: [[HeManWomanHater The author]] has a [[RealWomenDontWearDresses negative view]] on [[GirlyGirl feminine women]] as a whole [[AuthorTract so he portrays Sam, a tomboyish character as nice and Julie, a feminine character as a jerk in order to preach his prejudiced beliefs]].

** Sam and Julie are in an ImprobablyFemaleCast that features TomboyAndGirlyGirl of various levels of morality and common sense favoring neither of them, even if Sam and Julie in isolation would seem to be playing it straight. So people are able to distinguish gender expression from morality.

*** None of the characters are stupid enough to think all girly girls are as mean as Julie.

* '''Enforced''': The author notices how tomboys are typically portrayed as rude, mean and aggressive while girly girls are nice, gentle, and passive, and this gave him an idea to create two new female characters with inverted personalities.

** It turns out Julie was a completely nice gal who just held the {{jerkass ball}} while [[KindnessBall the same goes for]] [[{{Bitch}} Sam]].

** Neither Sam nor Julie is seen as particularly nice or mean.
