Yeah, I absolutely see Sam as tomboyish. And not in a way that is disparaging of her femininity, just as a part of who she is. She does seem awkward in a dress, or with kids, etc, but doesn't in a fight or with a rifle or being tortured. But she's still definitely a girl. My kinda gal. ;)

(And I am thinking of my own Sam construct, which I like better than TPTB's, heck, I like *almost* anybody's Sam better than TPTB's Sam. *sigh* I wish they would have brought in Joss Whedon to write just for Sam.)
