IMHO...In my neck of the woods. Back in my younger days many many years ago. I dated a few "Deisel Dykes" For me it was thier masculine energy. It wasn't just how fricken hawt they looked..but it was the confidence,cockiness the whole energy they put out there. Nobody f*cked with them and if they did well let me just say they regreted it. They were James Dean/Marlon Brando, pistol/knife carrying,cock packing,truck driving, cow branding, horse breaking,construction working,mechanical, tough, strong,taking care of thier business Dykes. And very proud of who they were. I didn't witness any sort of abusive behaviour from anyone of them. They took care of thier family and friends. Protected them with thier lives. I don't know when the word Dyke became taboo to some. Personally being from the Old School back when..When someone ID's as Dyke it's celebration time. I in no way am saying that any other ID is wrong. I'm really glad that our community is so large and out there that anyone can ID as to what suits them and thier inner self. Nobody should ever be put into a one size fits all box. Diversity is what makes the world go around. As for you ex..well sounds to me like it was a weak excuse to not have to own up to her own personal issues.

My ex used to laughingly, lovingly call herself a diesel dyke. To her it was old school, embracing of a phrase used to put down very butch women back in the 60's (and later) when she first came out.

She was proud of how butch she was and I loved it. She was/is a very gentle soul regardless and never beat anyone up; nor did she carry weapons. She was strong as hell though & based on her appearance; no one ever fucked with her.
