My Monday Morning Gift to You: Butch Desktop Wallpaper

4/22/2012

Mini-entry time!  I just found a site (via Lifehacker) called Simple Desktops that boasts tons of minimalist computer desktops (free!).  A few struck me as especially butch-appropriate, and I thought I'd share them with you.  After all, why shouldn't your desktop look as effortlessly stylish as you do?  Celebrate the start of the week with a new desktop look.  Why not?  Here's a boxer shorts desktop:

...And this one is understated...  yet super gay!  Perfect as we ease into Pride season:

This is just cool:

Butch specs:

Perfect for the butch who's part Clark Kent and part Superman:

Just nice and simple:

This is probably my favorite one: glasses and a tie pretty much sum up my signature dressy look.

Anyway, hope y'all had a swell weekend.  My DGF and I got to spend much of the weekend with our buddies C and D (a butch-femme couple, though not strictly so), and it was way fun!  We BBQ'd tri-tip, went on a three-mile hike, and drank a bunch of coffee while our dogs played in the sun.  I don't think I realized how much I needed a break.  Now I'm actually rested(!) and looking forward to the week(!!).  I forgot how nice that feels.

Cute ones! What's the street light one a reference to, though?

It represents how butch identity sheds light on the epistemological assumptions that characterize gender discourse.

Just kidding. I put it up as a reference to nothing--I just liked it. :)

Interesting pics. But I have a question. How do you know if you are butch or not? I mean, I have been out for over 25 years, and still don't think of myself as a femme, although everyone else does. I wear lipstick/makeup, but prefer comfortable/sensible clothes. Just hate being labeled "girly", when I don't feel like I am! Any words of wisdom?

Well, here's my post about why *I* personally ID as butch: http://www.butchwonders.com/1/post/2011/05/why-i-identify-as-butch.html. And here are some of my thoughts about gender presentation more generally: http://www.butchwonders.com/1/post/2012/03/the-geometry-of-gender.html.

In general, I don't think you should let ANYone label you in a way you don't identify with. If someone says, "You're such a femme!" I hope you'll feel free to tell them, "That's not how I identify." There's no need to identify as butch OR as femme. Some people identify as both; some as neither. Some people eschew labels altogether! Think about what's right for *you*--and ignore other people's attempts to fit you into the boxes that exist in their minds.
