Femme vs Feminine 

Majestic and I answer a question about femme identity, femininity and masculine privilege in queer communities and I check my hair more times than probably necessary. 

IMPORTANT FACTS

I just remembered that I bookmarked this about a month ago with out watching

yes yes yes

to me, the thing that makes femme fashion radical is that I’m inspired by other femme individuals, rather than a corporate idea of what it mean to be feminine. femme doesn’t have a profit motive, femme isn’t exclusive to a certain gender or body type or socio economic class. femme is diy, femme is changeable, innovative, and all kinds of radical. I also think femme fashion brings people together. when i see another blogger who posts a lot of femme fashion (total case in point: pinatasmashing) i tend to assume they are a radical babe, and for some reason these assumptions tend to be true. connecting over femme things is an excellent way to get to know a wide variety of people.

    I love this video, but I think straight ciswoman claiming “femme” is appropriating queer culture.
