Lipstick lesbians a la the glam ladies from The L Word have given way, according to the Village Voice [1], to a new kind of sexy: the butch woman [2] as typified by MSNBC news anchor Rachel Maddow.

She’s desired, they say, by lesbians, straight women, and men. (I can attest to that — I’ve heard people of varying sexual orientations say they think she’s hot!)

In the article, Maddow is quoted as saying that she’s “a big lesbian who looks like a man. I'm not Anchorbabe, and I'm never going to be. My goal is to do the physical appearance stuff in such a way that it is not comment worthy." Oh, but comment worthy it is! Do, dump, or marry?
