Butch

I am a butch. This blog is about what I think. If you do not know what butch means, you are probably on the wrong blog. In the interests of inclusion, though, I can tell you that “butch” means a lesbian that is big, strong, tough, more macho, less girly. Of course, there are no hard and fast rules – which is an ongoing theme in my blog (and in the comments), but those are the basics. A butch will most likely not wear makeup. A butch is often referred to as “sir” by someone who is not paying attention. What else? I am, after all, not just a butch. I am happily married to the most amazing woman ever, and the mother of two fantastic kids. I am also a lover of, in no particular order, beer, bow ties, breasts, movies, hiking, bookstores, travel, dogs, geocaching, polar bears, the gym, music, gadgets, and more. By day, I am an intrepid corporate entertainment lawyer. Although I try hard not to be labeled as such – sporting a bleached Mohawk, for example. Think more entertainment and less corporate. By night, bring it all on! In my blog, I talk about things from a butch perspective, but this is not just for butches. We all love our femmes. Please do not let me offend femmes, mine in particular! If you like what you read here, I hope you will comment and let me know what you think. If you do not like what you read, well, what the hell do I care? Start your own blog. Be Butch.

Sometimes

by

Sometimes you just feel like crap. No reason. Sometimes you just hurt a bit. It’s important to get in touch with that feeling, to let it sit. Sometimes. Probably not the best time to write a blog that tries to be funny. So I won’t. I’ll write again soon, though. Most likely about our amazing … Read more

Wish You Were Here!

by

[Imagine a getting a postcard from me that reads…] Hi Friend! How are you? Sorry I haven’t written lately, but I’m having so much fun on holiday and it’s quite hard to keep up. I’ve been taking lots of notes and jotting down things I’ve observed in my travels so far, and I plan to … Read more

The ABCs of Beer: A through E

by

Alright, so it’s time to live up to my name – or rather the name of my blog.  A whole post devoted to beer terminology and things a newbie should know.  Actually, more like 5 posts; this is part 1 of 5.  Suffice it to say that this is the first step in one’s beer … Read more

Shopping with the Hulk

by

My fiancé and I went shopping today, and I noticed a few things worth mentioning to you. The Dude Sofa: I spend a lot of time sitting on sofas while she shops. When I am not with her in the dressing room, I tend to find a place to park it while she browses. Most … Read more

Zip It!

by

As a butch in a butch-femme relationship (not all butches are, of course), one must be aware of one’s role in the relationship. We are the strong ones. The helpful, gallant ones. We are obedient and faithful. As such, there are a variety of things that should not escape our lips when we are addressing … Read more

Tiny Dogs, Gentle Giants

by

As we know, butches relate to the world slightly differently than femmes. For example, my male friends routinely slap or punch me on the shoulder. Fist bumps are routine. “What’s up, man?” I’m asked regularly. This NEVER happens to my gorgeous fiancé. It got me thinking about other things that I hear – either from … Read more

Big Butches Do Cry

by

In certain circumstances, a butch is absolutely prohibited from shedding a tear. For example, while getting a tattoo. Crying is forbidden – no matter how much it hurts – because you WANTED to get a tattoo. You chose to get a tattoo, and paid someone to give you one. No one cares that the pain … Read more

Butch Jaxon & Her Posse of Ruffians

by

Remember how I told you that I get stared at a lot? I’ve written about this before (http://butchontap.com/2012/03/12/what-are-you-lookin-at/). I am tall, with a bleached blonde mohawk. I do not wear women’s clothing. I tower over many men that I encounter. I do not apologize for walking into a room. When my gorgeous fiancé is with … Read more
