Something I'll bet you didn't know

For the first few years of his life, Ernest Hemingway's mother dressed him as a girl.

She was a nutter who wanted twin girls. She had his elder sister first. And when Ernest was born, she was disappointed that he was a boy. She often dressed brother and sister in matching dresses and hats and called him Ernestine.

Is it any wonder he grew up to be an alpha male with women issues?
