Hey, I'm a dude... I don't find her "butch."
Just answered your own question there, mate.

You forgot the "thinks you are a misogynistic, homophobic, dickwaffle" part...

It's a style WOMEN assume that communicates with other WOMEN.Shouldn't guys be able to identify "butch?" it seems like a -somewhat- objective thing to me.
How would you describe the style then?
...in a world he doesn't even exist in.
...
It isn't particularly objective to men because there are nuances that some men, evidently, can't see, and therefore don't believe exist. Like being colorblind without ever knowing it. This guy for instance thinks that "butch" means "bigger tougher and uglier than the biggest male athletes."
...
...maybe I should have phrased my characterization differently, using more delicate language to describe "butch" women. lol
Hands off the dress-- I'll do the hiking...*dies, drools, hikes up my pretty girly dress and runs to the bedroom*

whoah! what tumblr blog is that from?

Who gives a fuck what some random guy thinks is butch or not? We don't do it for him, mostly we do it in a world he doesn't even exist in.
Some men really hate that part.

He's wrong. And I see no need to explain any further. It isn't about men.

I wish that there was an emoticon for a round of applause because that is fantastically well written - punchy, to the point and (above all) unanswerable.
In the absence of that emoticon please accept this in it's place.![]()
Stella? I have SUCH a crush on her 
gawrsh! Thanks guys!
I've spent years trying to work this out. And my conclusion is that men have no right to demand answers about lesbian society.
They can ask, and women can choose to answer if it pleases them-- it's that assumption thing that gets my hackles up.

**Just to poke Luna and Stella**
They may not be as buff as Ms. Knight, but they are every bit as butch! (no guarantee on the queer part for some of them though)

P.S. and, yes... as a matter of fact I DO have a fantasy of doing k.d., Grace and Danica all at the same time!![]()

What a great idea for a thread. I thought about starting one myself several times before.
Just as I like my men girly, I like my women less so.
Have some pictures:
