No one asked any questions. What "subsequent contributions" were you expecting?
Your popcorn smiley sure didn't deserve a response. 
blog exposé that challenges lesbian masculine gender identity by referring to it as simply a 'trait,' replete with photographs and stereotypes; whitewashed to appeal to "a broader, heteronormative audience" and posted smack dab in the middle of HOF. A bold move.
Again:
What "stereotypes" are you referring to?
How are they "whitewashed"?
How is posting this a "bold move"?
As it stands, this OP feels more like an exercise in patronizing voyeurism than a legitimate opportunity for feminist discussion as it relates to the history of feminism.
Thanks for your opinion, but based on your comments so far it seems to me that it is rooted in your own apparent bias regarding this group.
I believe you when you say that you love the images you posted. Maybe you could elaborate on the 'why' of that proclamation.
Sure, I'm totally inclined to share my personal feelings about butch women with you. Not.
You also state that "aggressive" and "dominant" are words that have been posited as replacement words for "butch." Perhaps you could weigh in on where this supposed suggestion is coming from and whether or not anyone is taking it seriously.
It's in the linked piece. You're free to read more about it.
I haven't personally conducted any surveys to determine whether anyone is taking it seriously.
To reiterate, you posted a mouthful and then left it to languish. If there's a point to your OP, I wish you'd expound on it.
And I wish you hadn't made your first entry in this thread a fucking popcorn smiley. Maybe then I might take you seriously or care about what you wish would happen.
