i do this sometimes, ... i associate femme/nurturing. but i also consider myself to be nurturing.

very interesting. i think this is a topic of its own. can go rather deep.

Myth: ALL women/girls/Femmes love all things pink.

Myth: Femmes/girls/women can't fix things around the house, move anything heavy or deal with the "creepy crawlies" like bugs and snakes.

And I can prove it cuz I do this stuff all the damn time...

lol if anyone doubted this they should spend a day here. As I sit here with grease on my shirt and in my hair, 3 pounds of sweat and dirt on me and I'll be damn if I didn't completely fuck up the pedicure I just got. So instead my pretty red toes have a bit of goat shit, some smelly ass organic fertilizer and I just fixed the tire on a huge commercial grade sprayer the pulls behind my lawn tractor. Of course I had to shuffle through boxes with mice jumping to find parts in the barn.

Oh yeah, its a typical day around here with this femme

Myth- A Dominant Woman is heartless & unreasonable. She dominants and controls people because she was hurt or abused in her past.

Myth: Only femmes can get a manicure and pedicure.

boobookitty · 06-27-2012, 07:51 AM

The myth here -- is that this discription isn't sexy --

"...with grease on my shirt and in my hair, 3 pounds of sweat and dirt on me and I'll be damn if I didn't completely fuck up the pedicure I just got. So instead my pretty red toes have a bit of goat shit, some smelly ass organic fertilizer and I just fixed the tire on a huge commercial grade sprayer the pulls behind my lawn tractor."

I keep reading it over and over again... (sigh)

Myth (that baffles me) : all soft butches, bi, androgynous, switches, butches with more feminine traits than masculine, TG persons, butches who don't pack or strap, butches who are attracted to butches are somehow less than any other identity or strongly masculine person. I have seen soft butches or butches that are submissive and bi folks treated like they are " lower on the hierarchy "... this happens because of the myth they are less than and therefore aren't taken serious. It kills me to see this and see anyone on the LGBTQW spectrum " pushed out" if space and less respected.

Myth : femmes are not sissies nor are they less than. They do not do " sissy jobs" because they are feminine or less strong physically.

Woops I goofed on the last one... myth: femmes ARE SISSIES and they are less than because we are less strong physically. Myth : femmes do sissy jobs because we can't handle heavy manual labor.

I just wanted to thank you for posting this, because both myths came to my mind. I have been there (physically abused by a Femme) and am a transman and a mother. And now back to the myths...
