One of the Boys: Difference between revisions

* DC Riley of "[[Whitechapel]]" is this. Lampshaded in universe.

* ''[[The X-Files]]'' Scully is like this, and in flashbacks, is shown to have been like this as a child. Her brothers even went so far as to get her a rifle for her birthday. She chooses not only a male-dominated college major (her undergraduate degree was Physics; her medical degree is specialized in pathology), but a male-dominated profession (the FBI), which is commented on at times in the series. While not a tomboy in clothing or mannerisms, she gets very upset when someone does not treat her as One of the Boys. She puts up a tough front on pretty much everything; it takes a season and a half of Mulder telling her she can lean on him and a kidnapping encounter with a sociopath to even get her to lower her walls at all. And even though she's small, she's mighty. She's got great aim with her gun and can kick ass with the best of them. Evidenced by how many times she has to save Mulder when he'd gone half-cocked into a dangerous situation.

* Susan Ivanova in ''[[Babylon 5]]'' is very much the hard-edged officer, and pals around with her male colleagues like it's nothing (which to some degree it is in 23rd-century human society). On the other hand, she does strike up friendships with other women, including Delenn, and even {{spoiler|falls in love with Talia}}. Any complexity in her relationships with other women have tended to be on account of the fact that most other human women she interacts with are telepaths, and her relationship with telepathy and the Psi Corps is... not very good.

* [[Emotionless Girl]] Ellie from [[Degrassi the Next Generation]] is a drummer in an otherwise all-male garage band with a number of piercings. She does have a good female friend, but she is the only girl by season five who has strictly platonic relationship with a guy and she does maintain friendships with a couple of others.
