Several people have remarked that the vast majority of the negative comments about this event are criticisms of the way some of the women look and dress, many of them along these lines. I don’t think I’d fully appreciated until quite recently just how much hatred there is for butch lesbians from all directions. I knew it existed, to be sure, I’ve had butch lesbian friends for most of my life, but I don’t think I’d realised quite how ubiquitous and relentless it is.
This wasn’t Willoughby’s only tweet about this lunch. There’s this, for instance:
I honestly snickered at his comment. “I don’t get it.” That’s right, you don’t, Willoughby, and you’ve styled your entire life around your inability to comprehend this simplest of facts, that women are not defined by their appearance or behavior.
