Not cricket then? :sunglass:

In reference to BV, I am cross-posting this blog link in a couple of threads.

Carry on.

The wee white ball hitting with the little stick...That would be golf....Lesbians play golf, and I definitely leap when I make a birdie:)

ok so isnt that pool?...:blink:

it's all about perception i suppose.

Damn. I don't swim.

Oops, maybe I was wrong....I hate when that happens!:glasses:

Waterwings rock.

for the record...i'm refuse to get anywhere near Dixies sticks..it scares me just a bit..

P.S...POLO!!!

I always wanted to name a cat Marco and then go around the neighborhood yelling, "Marco!"

oddly enough, the folks at our local Wally world think my name is Marco.... I get, em. lost. sometimes...:|

These quotes lifted from BUTCH ENOUGH are kinda priceless:

"Clearly many female-identified butches at BV feel like there are issues around sexism/misogyny (among other points) that aren’t being addressed. And it is just as clear, based on the recent ouster, who holds the power in the organization."

"Any time you use a [linear] structure like ["masculine of center"], there is an implicit (or sometimes explicit) rating or ranking, that leaves some gender expressions as “more” and some as “less”. Thus, differences in expression of masculinity are quantitative rather than qualitative. That is, it becomes about different amounts of masculinity, rather than different kinds.

"[T]he official statement written by Butch Voices Board President Krys Freeman....explicitly casts female-identified butches as outsiders that BV is “working” to include. Apart from the absurdity of a large group of butches, probably a majority of butches, being outsiders in an organization called Butch Voices, recent events would suggest that these efforts to “include” female-identified butches are not very effective. Of course, mere inclusion shouldn’t really be the goal anyway. For Butch Voices to be the organization it claims to be, true power-sharing would have to happen. Female-identified butches would have to have equal footing in the organizational power structure, rather than be outsiders the organization is trying to include – on its own terms."

"If the BV board finds “butch” to be such a stigmatized term that they want to cover it over with “masculine of center” (a profoundly imperfect term in its own right), fine. But they should start with the name of the organization itself and leave the word “butch” to those of us who wear it with honor and with pride. Anything else is shameless hypocrisy."


Here's what I wish.... I wish people would stop acting like the stuff going on at BV is unusual.
