Extra Credit POST?!?!!?

So I don't know if this post will be considered late or not but I wanted to do it anyways. Over break I really got into my research. I specifically read up on the butch and femme stereotype for lesbians. There was a study done on whether or not femme and butch lesbians were considered warm and competent. It was interesting because most of the subjects said that they assumed butch lesbians were competent but less warm (nice or understanding) than femme lesbians. Femme lesbians were considered both the warm and competent. There was also a Likert scale developed in the study to understand how lesbians identified in their butch and femme subgroups. 1 being super femme and 9 being super butch. I think I may put this scale on my survey and see what results I get! I will be giving out my survey this week and next week once and send them to Bill and he approves of them. Thats about it for this week. Looking forward to more of my research!
