Goooooood question Chancie. Hmmmmm....
I guess I assume that straight women are attracted to masculinity and would therefore gravitate towards butches.
Plus, I recall my own experience years ago as a straight-identified woman fascinated and attracted to masculine women.
And I think I've also internalized the whole straight woman/butch thing. You know the one I mean... how butches get hit on by curious straight women all the time and/or how butches are interested in "conquesting" straight women. (This aspect of femme invisibility is actually a very tender spot for me on a personal level). How many threads have we seen about butches and straight women? This is the first I can recall about femmes and straight women.
Anyway... I was surely making big assumptions. Thanks for calling me out on that.
