Lesbian Feminism?

lesbian-feminism

When I was a kid I always thought feminists and lesbians were the same. When I discovered my own sexuality and finally, at 15, began the grueling process of coming out, I realized how wrong I was as a kid. To gain a little more perspective on the subject, I did search the net for [...]

Gendered Zone

gendered-zone

I guess I can be considered “butch”. I’m usually not one for labels, but labels find their way to be attached to me anyway. This is not a post about the politics of the butch and femme dichotomy, being or not being. It’s an issue that bothers me every now and then, and lately it [...]

Lesbian stereotypes

lesbian-stereotypes

Being a lesbian is a natural part of who I am, just like the fact that I have brown eyes or curly hair. When I told my parents that I was a lesbian this past August they asked what they did that “made” me gay. Nothing anyone did made me a lesbian, I was born [...]

(Stereo)Type

stereotype

Instead of writing about Stereotypes, I’m narrowing it down to ‘Types’. There’s this type of woman I find impossible to resist. Although I know the type when I see ‘it’, it’s fairly difficult to describe. I guess it’s a combination of the mouth and the eyes, a combination that creates some sort of charisma that [...]

My View on Stereotypes…A butch perspective

my-view-on-stereotypesa-butch-perspective

When I walk into my favorite lesbian watering hole I automatically feel as if I am on some kind of platform being judged. I get numerous looks from numerous people. They all have to assume that position of stereotyping everyone who comes in and arranging them in their own little “groups”.
Generally speaking, most lesbians and [...]
