I am listening toā¦
The beautifully written, yet shocking, āWhite Rage: The Truth of Our Racial Divideā by Carol Anderson.
As with the books I mentioned yesterday, I am still listening to this book so canāt give a completely fair review of it. However, I have learned so much from it thus far, I canāt imagine my opinion is going to change much.
I am grateful to Anderson for sharing this book with us. I only wish I had read it when it was first released in 2016.
One word: Enlightening.
A deserving 4.4/5*.
āWhite Rageā by Carol Anderson - https://www.amazon.co.uk/White-Rage-Unspoken-Racial-Divide/dp/1632864126
0Alrighty! So the lesbian subculture is great and large but there is a little bit of discourse about labels so Imma try and clean this up a little.
These are some slang words/labels the lesbian community uses.
100-Footer - Someone who you can guess is a lesbian from 100 feet away
Butch - A very strongly masculine lesbian
Blue-Jeans FemmeĀ - A lesbian who identifies as femme but wears more androgynous or masculine leaning clothing (little to no dresses/skirts)
Chapstick Lesbian - A soft butch or androgynous lesbian
Diesel D*keĀ - A very aggressively butch lesbian, often very muscular
D*keĀ - A reclaimed slur which means lesbian (Only lesbians can say this word, refer back to my D-slur post)
FemmeĀ - The fixed version of lipstick lesbian - a feminine lesbian
Gold-Star LesbianĀ - A problematic label which refers to a lesbian who has never had sex with a man
HasbianĀ - Someone who used to identify as lesbian but now goes out with men
Lesbo - Slang for lesbian
LesbophileĀ - Someone (typically a straight man) who watches lesbian porn while not being a wlw
Lipstick Lesbian - Iāve discussed earlier why this label was harmful but Iāll say it again; it was created both by a man and with anti-butch intentionsĀ
Lone-Star LesbianĀ - Another problematic label which meansĀ ālesbian whoās only had sex with one manā
Pillow Princess / Pillow QueenĀ - A lesbian who prefers to be pleasured sexually than to pleasure others
Power D*keĀ - A lesbian who is powerful, or one who likes to wear suits
Stem / KikiĀ - An androgynous lesbian who does not identify as either butch or femme
Stone ButchĀ - A lesbian who does not want to be sexually pleasured and prefers to pleasure their partner instead
StudĀ - A blackĀ masculine lesbian. This label is specific to black lesbians. My fellow white lesbians, stop.
