I think if someone had no physical examples of Femme and just read online, looked at photos online and did not participate in THIS kind of dicussion, yes. I think feminine & Femme have been synonymously perpetuated for years.
The thing is, when you get a bunch of Femmes in a room, I think that stereotype rings true. I mean, if you lined up 20 Femmes, I would venture to guess that at least 50 to 60% are more feminine than not. So... there is still the condundrum.
