noah fence but hollywood doesnt portray “femme lesbians”. it portrays straight-looking lesbians. hollywood knows fuck all abt the femme identity. theres a big difference between a femme lesbian and “a conventionally attractive actress we keep as appealing to the male gaze as we possibly can bc we dont wanna alienate men by portraying a woman they wouldnt wanna fuck”. like yeah i wanna see so many butch lesbians in the media i lose count of them, and i think it’s way more important to show butch lesbians, but i stop reading any post abt this as soon as it claims that hollywood shows femme lesbians
