A (traditionally) feminine woman. Mainly used to refer to a feminine lesbian, and especially a feminine lesbian who is attracted to masculine, or butch lesbians.
Often thought of as passive, dulcet, timid little things with long locks of hair; prissy dresses; great big fawn eyes; a high, baby-doll voice; the courage of a lamb and the intelligence of a gardenia. But we're all human, so don't expect that stereotype of finding every femme to be submissive, faint-hearted little fairies. Plenty of femmes kick butt and are even the dominant over their butch partners.
Femme(In a soft soprano)- "Sweetums, aren't you coming to bed?"
Butch(In a gruff contralto)- "Coming, babe!"
(Bedroom door closes. Butch and femme are together.)
Femme(in a strong, husky alto)- "C'mere, you animal!" (Pulls her butch onto the bed and climbs on top of her.)
