  1. Napkins? What are napkins?
  2. And forget delicate eating.
  3. You never cross your legs
  4. You have no problem with profanity.
  5. And you don’t care about “inappropriate conversation”
  6. You know you smell and sweat and you don't care.
  7. When you wear a dress you’re always too busy moving around, and don’t worry about if it comes up.
  8. You are proud of your burps.
  9. You are not afraid to FIGHT.
  10. You can’t bother with looking “socially acceptable” all the time.
  11. You refuse to let others talk over you, and to disrespect you.
  12. You don’t shade other women for being more traditionally feminine.
