Word Geek said...: I quite like dyke as a word. However I;m relatively femme-looking and what DOES offend me is when I use the word dyke to apply to myself and (straight) people tell me I'm being hard on myself, like I just called myself a pervert!
Lipstick dyke to me would suggest a particularly assertive, professional looking woman. Short hair, trouser suit, stark make up, no bullshit, where lipstick lesbian would be more full on femme. I particularly like glammadyke. Using that!; April 7, 2009 at 9:22 PM
