"Tomboy" Antonym

[rational611]

I would like to know whether the word "tomboy" has an antonym. Could someone help me please. I am not able to find an answer as none of the dictionary websites I have checked mention it.

Thanks

I would like to know whether the word "tomboy" has an antonym.

Perhaps: sissy

I couldn't think of an antonym (the best I could come up with was describing the boy as 'effeminate'), and then I found this on a site:

"Sissy boy: a vernacular term applied to a boy whose developmental differentiation of gender-identity/role (G-I/R) is in variable degree discordant with the evidence of his genital morphology."

hth!

How about 'big girl's blouse', which is used in BE. ;-)
