In Celebration of Butch Femininity

[TruTexan]

I'm one of the butches that is staying out of this thread. I don't like arguing and going back and forth with name calling and accusations and whatever else there is going on in here yada yada yada.

I tend not to read things the way others do, I just read it and move on to the next post.

But you didn't, you posted in it, so that kinda negates your statement no?

BTW there is no name calling going on, would you mind showing us a post where that happened?

I may be wrong but I don't think I am. But didn't someone call Tapu a crackpot?

Yes. I did.

I used to have lots of internet arguments. Lately I just tend to state my piece and move on. Just having the record of different experience seems to be the real meat to the threads on this and other forums. We really don't all have to agree. I did post this in the butch zone because it was a question for butches. I'm curious regarding the plethora of potential butch responses and would like to see the contention over other subjects move elsewhere as I suspect it's silencing to a possibly important dialog that could really benefit us all to read.

I really feel that the conversation should be allowed to flow organically, it will eventually either be resolved, people will talk, evolve, but it's organic and no one is being to overly gross,

It's been painful yet great to see people's brain juices flow, and it's different people sharing their stuff not just 3 or 4.

Not that you care what I think, it's your thread, but I really wanted you to know that it's important what is happening.

I always care what you think Snowy. <3 you are one of my favorite people and you've impacted my life greatly just by being exactly who you are and refusing to compromise.

I started the thread but am not a mod and I have no strong intention of controlling the direction of this thread. I just hope butch voices aren't being silenced here in a rather delicate/vulnerable place where they have been invited to engage. If I weren't piled under a deluge of homework, I would probably try to figure out a good spin-off thread for the contentious issues.

I think inviting other folk who aren't butch is why we are all here, plus when it comes to femininity, that opens it up to well myself, I am feminine. I guess if anything the thread should of been for just butches, so that they would of been heard, kinda like we do in Femme threads.

Make sense?


I enjoy your thought provoking threads, I really do..
