i don't know much about the specifics of the history of the feminist movement, tbh. but at this very moment, my theory that i just made up is that in cases like this, 'feminism' is sort of a proxy for tomboys trying to gain acceptance by their male peers. like i dunno if **** is considered offensive? but i do notice lesbian couples usually have 1 girly chick and 1 ****. i learned this mostly at my cousin's lesbian wedding. other than that i haven't had much interaction with the lesbian community. but yea, basically the point i'm trying to make my way to here is that i think it would be more effective for ****s/tomboys to form some sort of boyish-chick movement that mostly advocates for males accepting boyish chicks in boyish activities, rather than 'feminism' where they just seem to try to blur the lines and pretend like categories don't exist, imo. i feel like i would see that as a more honest approach and really for the most part i think in many cases men (at least some of us) do treat boyish chicks like men, cause that's how they carry themselves.
I've always found that whole dynamic of "girly" lesbians pairing up with "butch" lesbians to be odd. If they don't find men attractive, why do they find women who basically look like men to be attractive? I mean, I don't find men to be attractive, which is probably why I don't find butch lesbians attractive in the least.
