Femme Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoImma stop you right there, I just want to say that Femme Straddlers is one of the best groups of all time, of all time!
At this stage, I say we raid all groups.

Femme Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoIs there also a tattooed, androgynous group we can boxer-brief raid as well??
-
Sounds like we should start one!
-
sounds like a good plan =)
-
-
There’s a futch group…there’s overlap, right?
-
HA! yes…
that’s such a cute sounding word… “futch”
-
-
okay, that sounds a bit like “can we start groups for people we are hot for so that we can have them in one place/ stalk them / raid/ dry hump?”

Femme Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoI’d like to plug one of my favorite queer lady bloggers, http://killerfemme.wordpress.com/ . Smart posts about being in a band, dressing like a grown up (or not), working at a museum, making zines and generally being awesome in Brooklyn.

Femme Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoHey femmes, Q for you all:
what’s your type? Butch or femme or somewhere in between?
Because I think every lesbian has been asked if they are the man or the woman in the relationship. So maybe it’s time to put the butches date femmes and vice versa myth to bed or not?-
between all my lady loving friends they are split 50/50 some like only other femmes others like only butches.
I personally gravitate towards anywhere from somewhat androgynous looking (but still able to clearly tell they’re girl aka shane is not my cup of tea) to complete lipstick lesbians.
-
I am totally into the androgynous/masculine-presenting side of the spectrum. Although I can absolutely appreciate the sexiness of a hot femme!
-
I find androgyny, sleeve tattoos, girls wearing ties, and short haircuts extremely attractive.
I can appreciate the aesthetics of a Santana, but at the end of the day give me a Shane.-
you’re totally right, a santana v. shane poll is the only way to get to the bottom of this.
In which case I vote Santana.
-
-
i feel like i always go for anyone from soft butches to other femmes like myself. the problem is that there’s basically no telling that i dig women simply by looking at me, so even the most lesbian eye contact will not convince another girl that i’m into her.
honestly, though, i’d swoon if either ivan coyote or dianna agron asked me out to…[Read more]
-
dianna agron and ivan coyote at the same time, you’re killing me with the fantasies. my brain stopped working at “ivan”.
other than that, I am mostly into andro/ masculine types, sometimes feminine. or dianna agron. but, BUT the andro/ masculine women don’t have to identify as butch or boi. (although “real” butches are just…so…hot.)
-
-
I looooove me some butch/andro/genderqueer girls. I’m also starting to get heterofemmesexual–I dig femmes who present differently than me, like hippie femmes and tomboy femmes.
-
does this mean we can make out?

Femme Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoButch Straddlers now have a group… Does this mean we can do raids now, like they do on Yahoo! Answers?
“YOU GUYS I JUST BOUGHT THIS SUPER CUTE SPARKLY EYELINER, AND IT’S ORGANIC AND ONLY LIKE TWO DOLLARS, IT’S SO CUTE AND HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT COLORS AND, oh wait wrong group.”-
I kinda just wanna go over there and tell them they’re hot. Or, you know, do raids.
-
I approve of these telling-butches-they’re-hot raids.
Also we should ask if they can demo tying ties on us. (I can do a Windsor and Schoolboy knot, but am always open to new things!)
-
i third the telling-butches-they’re-hot idea, because good god, are they ever! we could just pop in every now and then, be like I WANT TO WRAP MY LEGS AROUND YOU IN A HOMOSEXY WAY, and then cheerfully saunter off in our pretty dresses and heels.
-
-
I say we invite them all to play capture the flag… though we may lose coz it’s harder to play in heels?
-
I am so absolutely in for any/all of these ideas
-
this thread makes me feel like I’m at summer camp, and that is awesome. Raids and capture the flag, yes please.
-
This has the makings of a really adorable short story.
Or um, a really sexy short story.

Femme Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoIs “femme” a word that resonates strongly with you, or just something you call yourself so other people get that you’re gay / queer / otherwise non-hetero? How do you express your femme-ness?
-
definitely a strong resonation(sp?) for me. Regardless of my sexuality I always consider myself feminine. I feel different from other more obvious or stereo-typical looking gay girls and my friends and I all wear make up, dresses and skirts. I rarely/prefer not to wear pants(trousers). Always have painted nails etc.
I suppose does your question…[Read more]

Femme is such a complicated word for me! I’m still coming to terms with how I express my femme-ness. For me, it’s more of an attitude than a way of dressing. Although I do like to dress up for special occasions, a lot of the time I’m in jeans. Femme means to me being pursued, being treated like a lady, having someone open doors, being the little spoon.
-
I always thought your spoon was related to your height. I’m 5’11” I once went out with a girl who was slightly taller than me and I got to be the little spoon, it was the best thing ever!
-
hmm I don’t know, I’m 5’7″ and i would imagine that I would be the little spoon even if the girl I was dating was shorter. I like the feel of being all wrapped up.
-
-
-
I used to think I was a really tiny, girly, glittery butch, but when I started reading blogs by femme folk I had a big ol’ Christian-Bale-in-Velvet-Goldmine THAT’S ME DA THAT’S ME moment.
For me, it’s an aesthetic and a personality/navigation of gender role thing–I like to wear t-shirts and tight jeans and tall boots with glittery jewelry, and…[Read more]

I could just copy/paste everything I wrote about being femme in the “Fit for a FemmeCon”-thread (http://www.autostraddle.com/fit-for-a-femmecon-57709/) but that would be too much…
well, the important parts are:
“I just came out to myself as femme as well. For me itβs not all about the girly stuff I like, but about everything anyone in the q…[Read more]-
plus, I don’t use the word femme too much when talking to other people, there are a few friends who know that I call myself femme. I don’t even think people [here] would know what I talk about [read: my queerness] when they hear the term “femme”. Femme is for me and I share it if I want to…

Femme is a word that resonates with me in a really complicated way. I like overdressing and spending hours looking at makeup and being girly, but I don’t fit into that traditional femme “role” at all. If anything I have a stereotypically butch personality, but I definitely don’t fit the aesthetics. It resonates with me in that I am a very femme…[Read more]

FEMME SHARK!

shark so scary.

I think it’s so interesting how words like “femme” mean different things for different people. I’m totally the opposite- I may be wearing jeans and hiking boots but opening doors and pulling out my chairs will make me swoon :)

I think it would be kind to let the other groups become established, get comfortable, so it won’t look like we’re encroaching their territory. (Or maybe I’m just trigger-shy from being on Tumblr for two years…)
can I wear a sundress and heels?
