Subj:Femme and butch

Re: you as butch. I’m so glad! Because I don’t understand half the butch posts on that board. Maybe you can explain them to me. Like what’s a “stone butch”? And…

You say, ‘Does this mean that in real life we’re a woman and a man?’

::stepping lightly away from you, moving toward the window where the soft breeze blows the curtains gently into the room, ze begins to dance à la Isadora Duncan, and speaks while dancing::

I’m a woman?

You’re a man?

I *seem* to recall a certain

riot grrl

who had her way with a certain

skateboard dude.

::stopping dead still, looking at you deadpan::

Or had you forgotten our first evening of bliss?

::resuming hir dance::

Are we on, butch?

Subj:Are we on

Hmm, well can we at least spin it like Bogie and Bacall?

Stone butch? I think it means “very butch” or it refers to the one who just pleases the other one but never gets off herself. Kind of blows me away, because they say butch lesbians are imitating men, but I don’t think you’d see many men doing that for women. Nice contradictions there, let’s do it.

I love Bogie and Bacall!

What was the butch post you liked? I am *so* intrigued by this.
