Whats the difference between ';dyke'; & ';lipstick lesbian';?

A lipstick lesbian is a very feminine lesbian who can easily be mistaken for a straight girl, and gives no suspicion of being a lesbian.





A ';dyke'; is usually referred to as someone who is a butch obvious looking lesbian.Whats the difference between ';dyke'; %26amp; ';lipstick lesbian';?
';Dyke'; is a term that is often mistakenly used in regards to masculine lesbian women, but in fact, it's just a synonym for a lesbian of any type (though in the past it was a derogatory insult, and may still have negative associations). There are many women who have reclaimed the word and self-identify by it, whether butch or femme.





';Lipstick lesbian'; refers to a feminine lesbian woman. It has been mistakenly used to refer to any feminine lesbian, but in fact, it is meant to be the counterpart to ';femme';. A lipstick lesbian is any feminine lesbian who is attracted exclusively to other feminine lesbians. A femme lesbian, on the other hand, may be attracted to butch lesbians, or to both.
