Would you like to be 'out' to genetic women? Or perhaps you would enjoy hinting at your femininity and seeing where it all leads to? You should think of joining a book club. I was in my local Waterstones last Thursday and one of the staff said to another staff member:'what time does the book club start?' I decided to hang around and get a look at the members of this club and about 80% of them were female.
If you are looking for a girlfriend in the female sense of this term or you are looking for a girlfriend in the sexual sense then joining a book club is a good idea. If you want to be out to other women, just wait until the group is reading something stereotypically feminine like Jane Austen or one of those Victorian lady poets. You could then say at the next meeting 'oh my God I just loved this book! It spoke to me on so many levels. I totally identified with the heroine!'
I did something like this in my first year at university. English was one of my five subjects and we were reading The Sea Road a book with a strong female protagonist and written from a female perspective and that classic book that all English undergraduate courses teach:Jane Eyre. I was so entranced by these books that I am pretty sure that from my behaviour I had outed myself to my class tutor M.P. . When we studied Beowulf we had to write about a character we liked and I wrote about the queen.
