It's just a descriptive, and it beats the hell out of "who brought the straight girl?" My best friend gave me the descriptive "femme with working hands" because of all my DIY work. I like that.<BR/><BR/>I don't think "femme" is remotely derogatory unless you hate femininity. Of course, we see hatred of the feminine all over, from radical feminism (where "you need not" becomes "thou shalt not") to very conservative Christian sects to the Middle East. And that's not even addressing hatred of the feminine in *men*.CrackerLilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176388186521154104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-53477599782495346112008-08-19T22:07:00.001-04:002008-08-19T22:07:00.001-04:00Also... aliens?

I don't know about gay men that use the term (other than drag queens referring to being 'en femme', dressed in drag), but it doesn't seem any less valid than any other label I've heard used. <BR/>Just wanted to weigh in and say that as a feminist, I kick ass. As a femme, I can do it in heels.Sabertooth Screaming Lemurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18299284382384619823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-48527437143558313792008-08-19T21:20:00.000-04:002008-08-19T21:20:00.000-04:00aliens? femme seems derrogatory of effeminate, or...aliens? <BR/><BR/>femme seems derrogatory of effeminate, or is it just me?shrink on the couchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271891110211081990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-60079702028340698952008-08-19T18:42:00.000-04:002008-08-19T18:42:00.000-04:00um, what?um, what?Queers Unitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05074493276489593816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-62601118025129893282008-08-19T14:41:00.000-04:002008-08-19T14:41:00.000-04:00the aliens are here and they love christ!!! plus: ...the aliens are here and they love christ!!! plus: 'Conversation with Jesus!! search 'aliens', 'jesus'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
