Hmmm, well all the talk about being courteous and polite to femmes and opening doors and such is all well and good, but to me what the OP was talking about was quite a bit deeper than that. I think she is talking about being honored and valued for who she is as a femme- she is just as lesbian and/or queer as her butch counterpart, so why would a butch ask her to go flirt with a male? She is not straight. Femmes are just as lesbian and/or queer as butches. Treat them as such and respect them for who they are.
