I've definitely noticed a trend of women who have been subjected to unwanted sexual attention presenting in a more boyish manner.

I've never understood the extreme aversion to sexual attention though I suppose that's the result of trauma more than anything.

I was a tomboy during puberty specifically because I was not taught the concept of consent; my mom had borrowed library books about puberty and let me read them on my own. The books did not discuss consent, just purely biological "Penis goes in Vagina where Sperm meets Egg. Sperm + Egg + 9 Months = Baby! Everytime!"

Even from the age of 8 I was seeing bumper stickers that said "It's a baby, not a choice! 😀" so as a 9-year-old going through puberty, I sincerely believed a man could make the choice to put a baby in me, and I would have no say in the matter.

So I started wearing my dad's clothes.
