^Yeah! I was never really a butch lesbian; lol i'm kinda small and while i'm tough there are butch lesbians out there who make me look like a sweet little shy kid even now haha! I'm being silly but its true! I was never a man-hater, just hated the patriarchy in general (knowing that not ALL men are patriarichal F-ING ->-bleeped-<-S! lol)
I tried to embrace my being a strong woman because I really didn't think I had any choice. I'm still fiercely feminist and am a little horrified that I'm a white american man now, in the political sense! Hopefully I am being the best man I can be (i.e. not the aforementioned f-ing ->-bleeped-<-)
