Come to think of it, I've seen it happen in all kinds of relationships, but we're talking about Femme's right now.

i bolded this portion because it was something that i was going to speak to on the 'exlusion' thread: femmes who defer to all things "butch", those that aggressively hand over their power as if subjugating herself were an art form (newsflash: that's totally weird).
