Butch and Femme are sexy dance steps with unlimited variations. Butch is gallant, femme is gracious. Butch is hail and hardy, femme has wicked cool wiles. Butch is handsome. Femme is pretty. Butch/Femme is all about relating to each other like ladies and gentlemen—no matter our genitals. Butch is Stanley Kowalski, femme is Blanche DuBois. But in a production called Belle Reprieve, Stanley was played to perfection onstage by handsome, butch Peggy Shaw. Beauteous drag queen Bette Bourne played Blanche. They were perfectly butch and femme.
Butches can be dominant or submissive, strong or weak, honorable, or complete rats. So can Femmes. Butch and Femme have nothing to do with who makes more money. And no one in real life is a hundred percent butch. No one is a hundred percent femme. Like everything else about our identities, butch and femme are all a matter of degree based on preference, comfort and choice.
There’s no perfection in the dance, there’s only the totality of self-expression and how that self-expression dovetails with someone else’s self-expression. When people play with that consciously, it’s wonderful fun. At its best, Butch/Femme becomes an erotic expression of “This is how I’m femme, and it makes me really happy that I delight the butch in you.” And, “This is how I’m butch, and it makes me really happy that I delight the femme in you.”
There is no singular archetype of Butch and Femme. The belief in the notion that there’s a right way to do Butch and a right way to do Femme begins perhaps with mythological, fictional, or cultural archetypes, which over time become accepted unconsciously as “normal” in a given culture. For example: weak, defenseless or predatory femme is imposed as “normal” behavior for females in a heteronormative, sexist culture. Strong, stalwart, and silent or brutal butch is imposed as “normal behavior for males in a heteronormative, sexist culture.
Once we begin to look at the characters as Butch and Femme—not male and female—we can assign to them any gender we like.

I’ve been playing with the idea of blogging for a while now. I had an LJ once. I liked it, then I got bored and 7 years on, well…
The problem is, I don’t feel I have anything too useful to say. Other people always seem to say it better, more eloquently or in a more original way. I’m not afraid to be controversial though. A well known lesbian blogger and podcaster now has me on her hit list after referring to me as a goat, and I’ve pissed off mosrt of my work colleagues on facebook after ranting about TV and the sexualisation of children. They now think I’m a kind of lesbian Mary Whitehouse!
I think I’m talking myself into it here!
So, raise a glass to trying to be witty and erudite but most likely coming off as a wannabe Kirsty Allsopp!
Cheers!
New Orleans - the holiday of a lifetime!
