			i consider myself an old school femme. Maybe its my age, maybe its because i am scared of the next generation. i think our dynamic is become lost in with the battle for our rights. Gaining our rights is a great thing of course, but i think most couples just see themselves as gay, not BF. SO i am holding on to it!  
 
What  OFOS means to me is not being helped with my chair, or standing when i exit and enter the room, but simple manners. For me, sometimes those things cause me to feel like the *weaker* of the BF dynamic. If i get to the door first, i hold it open regardless of who is coming in. i can put myself in a car, i don’t like being tucked in there. i like when my butch asks me what i would like for dinner and there is soft conversation before the meal. i like to know my butch is present with me during that time.  
 
i don’t really want to my butch to become comfortable losing good old fashioned manners after the first date.  i would like my butch to have some pride in their appearance when taking me out.  
 
 i would like to feel special, and make them feel special.  
 
Are these things really Old School?
