I love what I do. I don't know why I bitch about my job. This really is what I want to do when I grow up. I mean, a different flavor certainly but ... in essence, this.

Well, anyway, I finally got to see Le Tigre live, and they were pretty great. I also really liked one of their opening bands, Gram Rabbit. August bought their CD, but I haven'

Was August the boy you were with?

[neverireven]

Yep. Sorry, I couldn't remember if you guys had met before or not.

I don't but it. It seems like the worship of female beauty is more common than the worship of male beauty, but in my opinion the guys who are hot are hotter and the girls who are cute blend in with the others. Nobody wants someone who is ordinary, and if cute is ordinary, we ought to consider it a negative.

Hey now, cute is pretty much the only thing I've got going for me! (Kidding. Mostly.)

But yeah, obviously I don't think the dichotomy is quite that simple. Or dichotomous. But, y'know, I tend to be most attracted to juxtaposition, drag and genderplay - and it may just be that there are both more consciously reallyfemme and more kindabutch women in my social space than there are consciously reallybutch or kindafemme men.

But it's silly to not want something purely because it's ordinary, or want something simply because it's not. Just as silly as it is to want something because it is the norm, or not want it because it isn't.

the point about the overabundance of cuteness is that it lacks any market value in some sense and is thus too simple to attain. the whole thing about kindafemme guys is that they are taking some risk to be that way, and are hence fairly rare, making them hotter. and stop acting like your the only one out of the two of us that can talk in abstraction. annoying as hell.

In certain contexts, sure. But not always. In my normative - or at least formative - social environment, for example, kindafemme guys were/are significantly more abundant than traditionally cute girls. Or girls of any flavor, for that matter. Yet that didn't make them any less attractive to me as what they were. It's not like "hotness" is some kind of Real Quality that inheres to people. Stop acting like your experience is universal, it's annoying as hell. :P
