4.0 out of 5 stars Life not a lifestyle, August 6, 2006

Readers Paradise "Book Club" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)

This review is from: The Aggressives (DVD)

I have seen the Aggresors umm 3 times since Feb 2006. As a femme I enjoyed the movie and finally being able to see the women/womyn I love so much. One thing I don't like about how the movie is being portrayed is this. The aggressors are NOT trying to be men, they happen to embrace the masculine part of their personality over the femme part. My question is this when did men become owners of masculinity?

I enjoyed listening to every persons story in this documentary. I believe to a small degree people who had no clue about aggressors, stone butches, femme aggressors and the plethora of beautiful people we have in the GLBT community will learn something from this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Individuals All, November 3, 2006

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Aggressives (DVD)

The director spent five years on this documentary and it shows. This is a very honest, direct, non-exploitative view of young New York African-American lesbians of the "butch" or aggressive persuasion whose stories are revealingly poignant. Each of the six females presented in the documentary are extremely different in class, personality, choice of attire (even articulation) but all share the common thread of a lifestyle that is burdensome to some degree. The weight of this burden juxtaposed against the exhilaration of loving the feminine female results in an apparent vulnerability that is captured well by D. Peddle, the director. These young women -- individuals all -- allow us a look into their turbulent lives. It is worth viewing more than once
