Tomboys Are God’s Gift

TIL the Bible describes the noble wife as a tomboy. She is, according to Proverbs : good at and enjoys a variety of craft skills (verses 13, 19, 22, and 31), a shrewd businesswoman who makes a profit (14, 16, 18, 24), energetic, optimistic, outspoken, and kind (15, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27), and she eschews traditional charm and beauty for personal betterment (by dutifully following God's teachings in this case, but it still applies; verse 30). Truly, tomboys are God's gift to his faithful sons, and it's our responsibility to in turn be His gift to them. SHE GIRDeth HER LOINS WITH STRENGTH, AND STRENGTHENETH HER ARMS. PROVERBS 31:17 “THE WIFE OF NOBLE CHARACTER.”

A social-media-style post humorously claims that the biblical description of a noble wife in Proverbs actually celebrates tomboy traits such as strength, independence, practical skills, business sense, and rejection of conventional beauty standards. The attached collage shows muscular and athletic anime-style women, turning the religious quotation into an exaggerated endorsement of tomboys as a reaction to people praising traditional femininity.
