I’ll get right to the point: there is nothing wrong with depicting butch/femme couples in fiction.
I’m really tired people complaining that some lesbian couple in fiction is butch/femme, or that a lesbian woman is butch. It’s such a stereotype, they say. It’s binary, it’s like they want to be straight, people say.

Wtf heterosexuality
Today I went to buy cat litter. The lady in the shop commented on my choice of cat litter scent (yeah, I know right). She said it smells like freshly showered man. What?

White Privilege is European explorers spending years looking for a race of ‘white Egyptians’ out of sheer disbelief that people of color could build such wonders.
