I would like some reading materials for which to read
First point of business: I like the new John Mayer song. I expect "[person] has removed you from their Friends List" notifications en masse when I publish this entry
Second: hungrymoon (hay ♥) asked me for book recs for nonfiction about femme lesbian identity (my thoughts on this in name. She recommended this, which I want to get my femmey hands on immediately) and I got nothin'. The one book I own is embarrassingly bad which I guess explains why it was free. Let me quote my review
Chapter one of The Lesbian Erotic Dance: Butch, Femme, Androgyny, and Other Rhythms, 1st ed* is a fourteen-page-long sex scene with a tag-team cast of anonymous characters and a bevy of activities, and incorporates women with physical disability and history of sexual abuse without skipping a beat. (It's a damn shame chapter two presents a staggering change in tone, pace, and subject matter. Apparently the author is [was?] obsessed with assigning every lesbian a number between high femme and diesel dyke. And the mock personal ads, oh, the mock personal ads.)
I am not kidding around when I say "obsessed." Also femme/femme (♥♥♥) and butch/butch, like, blow her little mind, and from her summary of femme (the word soft happens a lot. Straight-woman femme, maybe I could see that, because straight[-perceived] femme women who aren't ~soft~ or who ~dare to wear pants~ are frequently pegged as masculine, but that is because people are ridic, ridic being my favorite adjective. In the ♀♀ community, femme is more flexible-ish, I think) I get a mental image of frills and baby pink, lots and lots of baby pink, and I am having bonnet flashbacks. Also also, she is ambivalent if femme and butch are an aesthetic, sexual roles, what. One second they're the former; one second they are absolutely NOT the former, they're the latter; the next they're neither or both idk. YOU ARE CONTRADICTING YOURSELF, AUTHOR. Trust me it's bad
Recs, friends?
Blogs and blog posts if you got 'em?
*lol
