Mullets, Flying Toenail Clippings and a Vibrator
In my 61 years I have learned many things and have some good old-fashioned common sense. Send your questions to Eleanor@lesbiangcemag.com. Dear Battle axe, I was traveling through California recently and I happened to see a woman sporting a mullet. You know, business in front and a party in back. How is it possible that […]
Loving the Genderqueer
Recently I was browsing some genderqueer forums. I don’t often participate in the conversations, not because I have no opinion, but because I seem to be so much older than most looking for guidance. I feel out of place in a community that seems inundated with much younger people. I wonder had I been exposed […]
A Lesbian Child is a Gift
When I was very young, I was given a Batman utility belt for Christmas. It was a wonderful gift for a lesbian child. The wide plastic belt clipped on important tools and accessories. A tiny metal flashlight with the black bat sign over a grey metal shaft shone a light beam across the tip top […]
Feliz Navidad Feminista Style
Christmas reminds me of my Tia Nonita. She was a hardcore Catholic: she had an 8 foot shrine of la Virgen de Guadalupe—in her make up bag. That’s fierce. So to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus, every year was a huge highlight for this 80-something year old woman—next to, bingo on Friday nights. I […]
May your Holidays be Mary and Gay!
I went into my son’s freshman high school class last week as a member of the Spectrum’s LGBT Speaker’s Bureau to help dispel myths about LGBT people and to educate them about the consequences of teen bullying by sharing my story. It was 8:00 am and the kids just stared blankly, with their mouths agape. […]
Baby, Its Cold Outside – and Queer in Here!
In 1944 Tony and Pulitzer award-winning songwriter Frank Loesser (“Guys & Dollsâ€) wrote ‘Baby it’s Cold Outside’ for his wife Lynn and sang it at private parties before selling it to a studio which put it in a movie. It won the 1949 Academy Award for Best Original Song. And it is original. A duet […]
Lesbian on Lesbian Romance
Romance has gotten a bad rap over the years from a lot of sides. Men and literature snobs laugh out loud about “romance†novels which are considered lower than so-called ‘chick lit;’ the idea being that at least in ‘chick lit’ the heroine usually has a job before she has her bodice ripped. Romance has […]
Black Swan vs. Burlesque
I’m all caught up on my show biz chick flicks having seen Burlesque two weeks ago and yesterday’s matinee of Black Swan. I took my girlfriend so I could grab her arm during the scary gross parts. I would turn towards her, in the dark theater, following the arc of her horrified reactions and gage […]
Glazed and Confused
Having explained how I judge my precious donuts (please review Battle Axe Tastin’ and a Tellin’ Part 1), I decided to include the following places based on what I read about them and what was recommended to me. They are as follows:  The Doughnut Plant in New York City, Dynamo Donuts in San Francisco, Randy’s […]
What’s up with MEN?
“Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.†Albert Einstein I’m a Lesbian Feminist, which means—to me—that I’m mindful of male privilege in our culture and believe it my social responsibility to educate and be an activist around the harm that patriarchal privilege creates and sustains. War, rape, bullying, stock market […]
