Akiva and Rachel talk exiting the “lesbian sameness doctrine” — one of our key points of departure from much of radical feminist discourse — and how this immediately opens your life to better sex between women.
Things that made this a difficult exit:
— Use of the word butch as an aesthetic label
— Use of the word butch outside of the butchfemme context
— Use of the word butch by queers who have postmoderned themselves so hard they no longer apparently have a body
— The queer community’s active dissuasion of lesbians from caring about orgasms
— The idea that butches rebel against patriarchy while femmes comply with it
— People trying to queer butchfemme to appease the chaos gods/their own egos (“queer” is the verb for “make into nothing”)
— Labeling soup and the idea that every combination of lesbian vibes needs a special name (e.g., butch4butch, femme4femme)
— “F**king queers, man”
We articulate what it means to be a butch lesbian, beyond and beside the situation of being a non-normative woman in the world (i.e., not all “mascs” are butches).
No need to circle the drain of sense making with the queer chaos demons. The human experience, like time, is linear — and all women should direct our own. Sex begins, ends, and (when done well) involves orgasms.
