nope, not anything said to me today -- though it's definitely been said to me before (you know who you are!!). i'm simply tired of it & i think if i hear one more time by anyone to anyone, i will scream :)

i certainly don't go around making general put down statements about butches -- so why should they do so about femmes?

i don't think there is anything wrong with being so-called high-maintenance -- it means that one feels her feelings. what's so wrong with that? what i am tired of is hearing it used perjoratively -- it's yet another form of misogyny that's perpetrated in b-f circles, another way of putting down femmes.

well i'm sorry someone pissed you off.

But for the record, I like the femmes that are high maintenance, because to me it means they know who they are and what they want and aren't afriad to say so. That's just my two cents.

exactly -- what is wrong is knowing who you are & what you want? i think when people call femmes high maintenance, those people are not taking responsibility for their own emotional needs/issues!

no one said this to me specifically today or anything -- but i did hear it in reference to another femme. my point is simply that i'm tired of hearing it, you know??? why must butches put down femmes like that?

I agree. Being femme or butch has nothing to do with being, or not being, high maintainence.
