feminism

I just want to write about what I experienced this weekend at a church retreat.  It was time for activities where everyone gathered to play soccer.  I was just watching because I had midterms to study for that night and didn't want to drain my energy.  My girlfriend, who is very competitive shocked many of the men on the team and even women.  She is very pretty and petite, 5'4", 110 pounds, loves make-up, fashion, jewelry and likes everything else a "girl" would be interested in.  On the field, her masculine side came out as she is very competitive business woman and losing is not an option to her.  She would scream and yell, like how men react when it comes to scoring.  She ended up scoring the most points on the team and outperforming many of the men on the team.  All the women on the team were complaining about their feet hurting and their nails breaking and it's something guys would expect girls to say when playing sports, but she was completely the opposite.  All the guys on the team were shocked to see a girl act that way and didn't expect to see such a masculine side of her.  I think that most men think women as being feminine and don't expect any masculine traits from them.  Is it okay for women to show signs of masculinity?  Normally, when men show signs of feminism, they are usually downgraded and portrayed as a homosexual even though they are not.
