BullDog, do you mind if I add to your thoughts on this?

I know first hand that rape is about power.

I identify as a Femme but not too long ago (less than three years to be exact), I most often was mis-read as being butch (especially by others claiming the identifier of Femme). Before that, it wasn't even about how I identified. It's think it's painfully apparent that I am female and that I am a woman and not so apparent that I'm a Femme.

So to me, it's not about butch or femme identity.

To me, the tool of rape is about power.
