[Toughy]

This is probably a derail, but since 'Slut Night' was brought up, I thought perhaps those who don't know, should know where that came from. This will be the short and sweet version.

ButchFemme Socials of Oakland/San Francisco has been doing Socials for over 10 years now. In Oakland, we originally did them at the White Horse (fondly know as 'the Ho'). At one of our first Socials, one of the femmes in attendance had on a black form fitting dress that could have been a slip. She went to the bar to get a cocktail and the old gay man bartender told her she needed to put some clothes on.....that she was dressed inappropriately. She came over to me and said that man had insulted her and hurt her feelings......well......... laughin.....that set me off and I ended up threatening to strip down to my boxers (with all the butches behind me)...which I wasn't wearing........long story short....one of the femmes said 'if he thinks that is slutty, we can show him slutty'......and Slut Night was born.

The first Slut Night was held for the next social at the Ho and the femmes came in all their slut finery.......corsets, garters, etc.......a tradition was born and continues to this day at various times across the country.

I got nothing but disgust for hypocrisy.
