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?

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 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.
