Flannel-wearing, wrench-wielding, mullet-rocking dykes. This is what we're not. Well, not all of us...
I surround myself with a group of fabulous, interesting, women-loving women. To others — and by others, I mean heterosexuals, namely of the right-wing persuasion — lesbian women are all the same. Gay people, in general, are all the same. The women are tough and probably play a sport of some sort, and the men walk on their tiptoes and most likely have glitter somewhere in their medicine cabinets. Sure, there's truth in all stereotypes. In this case, we're all women who have sex with women. This is what we have in common.
