I know we've had good discussions on this site about media representation of Butch-Femme community, should we start a fresh thread about it? I'm curious about your thoughts. Its a fascinating question- Does less media representation make for less butches/Femmes? Or are we too small a "market" to drive development of media about us? Even at this queer film fest, it was slim pickings.

Im not sure I am understanding you here.

"Does less media representation make for less butches/femmes?" Are you suggesting there is a cause and effect between the media and people becoming butch/femme? Or are you saying the media could bring light to the sometimes invisible aspects of the butch/femme community? Or am I totally missing the point?

"Even at this queer film fest, it was slim pickings." Does this mean there was not as much of a visible presence of butch/femme in the way you expect it to look? Or, does it mean it was not well attended? Or, does it mean there was no one you gave thought to hitting on? LOL. Couldnt resist that one.

So my next question is do you think films like Pariah will encourage young Butches to come out?

Arrow Cultural Terms

LeftWriteFemne brought up a point that is being missed, cultural terms and ID's.

Butches are EVERYWHERE! They may just have another word/words to describe them.


Machas

Studs

Aggressives

There's a plethora of sexy out there, you sometimes have to dig a lil deeper

This point was kind of teasing in the back of my mind, thanks Snow!

All you need to do is to go on YouTube and take a look at the many, many channels started by young butches that may simply have another name for their identity.

There always have been butches and femmes and there always will be butches and femmes!

I will go into geek mode here, thanks to the last episode of BSG (that is Battlestar Galactica, for those that did not watch the outstanding SciFy channel series-sorry for the digression):

“All of this has happened before and all of it will happen again".

Butches have not and will not be going anywhere but may indeed evolve, by choice, over time.

"Where and How Do You See Butches" or possibly "Butch Sightings"
