Zombie Badger said:For them wearing more traditionally masculine clothing is not related to wanting to relate to men but just as a way of self-expression, without having to worry about conforming to what is stereotypically considered female. Similarly you can find straight men who just enjoy wearing more feminine clothing or makeup.Hawkeye21 said:offtopic: Come to think of, I've always wondered about lesbians. If they don't like men, how come most of real-life lesbians I've known/seen look androgynous? Many cut their hair short, mostly wear guyish clothes (I don't think I remember any of them wearing skirts), have slightly swaggering walks, stuff like that. One would presume girls liking girls would want to look as girlish as possible...
Sexuality is a sliding scale, you have gay men who are really manly (bears for example) gay men who are more feminine you have straight guys who are into more masculine women and straight women who are into feminine guys (lots of these actually like the whole metro sexual thing) by the same token you have lesbians who like butch women and lesbians who like really feminine women, however to various media and popular opinion the butch lesbian is more shocking and thus gets more attention.
ON the fist page someone posted a video of lesbians reacting to lesbian porn, have a look at them , not butch at all.
P.S. interesting topic OP, thanks for posting.
