The Unfeminine Female

This is something that has caught my attention for a while now, but for me I'm finding myself oddly intrigued by women who reject femininity and live, look and act as if they were boys/men. Their look has actually really inspired me, primarily the fact that they project confidence & power in the way they look and how they reject social norms of what a women 'should' look like.

I wanted to find real women doing as a way of life- not styled Vogue shoots.

Let me show you a few examples: 

 

This is Claie from France. I found her on Tumblr through a blog actually called the Unfeminine female: http://the-unfeminine-female.tumblr.com

Now she actually mentions she finds boys beautiful which obviously influences the way she styles herself and is part of her inspiration. 

This is Chloe from New York- in her blog she often refers to herself as a boy via song lyrics. I would love to know what gender she categories herself as.

Finally Lois from the UK, well known on Youtube for her covers of popular songs.

As a child I completely rejected the Tomboy look so I guess this is why it intrigues me now. To me these photographs say- I don't have to have long hair to be attractive, I don't care if I am, by social and conventional standards 'attractive' at all, just because I'm a women doesn't mean I have to look like one. I love how all these women cross the line between gender, it's pretty powerful, good for them for being androgynous when society tells us to be feminine.
