i'm going to be honest with you kitten, daddy is done seeing all the posts pushing docility and misogynistic beauty standards onto femmes as a femme who only wears makeup on occasion and has a dominant personality
#it is so... heterosexual (and misogynistic)#i refuse to go about life acting subordinate it's humiliating#i also just have a dominant personality#ppl dont expect it from me bc i can be introverted and a loner but they are very wrong#im very self-sufficient and opinionated and maaaay be a little feisty and bossy...#also i havent worn makeup in over a month so theres that i guess

#thank you for adding this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#dyking was also used specifically to describe tribadism or “scissoring” throughout the 1940-50s and probably later too#it's so interesting and not surprising that the use of the word dyking came from prison lol#i deleted my previous rb of this post bc i dont like how theres two of the same thing lol#sorry if you liked that one to save it im not sure if the post disappears from your liked section thing

“Is it any wonder, then, that butches and femmes seek each other out? Not when you realize that yin and yang long for each other, and an important part of wholeness depends on finding that connection.”
