Something I just noticed..the very logo of the site

That's why I just noticed the logo of the site-that "butch" is in heavy black writing, sort of "plain", almost, and "femme" is in pretty pink and really curvasive writing. We've just had several threads about how not every butch is masculine or even tomboyish, and I'm a prime example of a "femme" who wouldn't be caught dead being girly and pink.

1. I think if you think that being butch or femme is about being boxed into a grouping, then you probably don't get being (embracing) butch or femme and while that's OK, it also means that our logo is going to be "binary" to you, and mean something entirely different to the rest of us.

2. Also, and I don't think you realize this, but your choice of words Others our Butch and Femme identities.

3. The pink isn't nearly glittery enough for my taste--And where's the animal faux fur prints?! DAMN JUNE!
