Lunch break femme thoughts:

Butches look like teenage boys until all their hair turns gray overnight, and then they look like that one guy from Mad Men. If you can't tell how old a butch is, here's a handy guide based on years of exhaustive research... #queer #butch #butchfemme🌈
50+: natural eyebrows, poorly maintained (Eugene Levy vibes. This generation hasn't thought about their eyebrows even once. Brows are femme shit.)
40-50: mall eyebrows (The brows of female pop stars 1995-2000. Over-plucked, shapeless. They learned their grooming habits as teens & they'll never learn another way. Brows are brows, who cares? Also seen in historical images of gender-bending burlesque dancers in 1920s Berlin.)
30-40: natural eyebrows, well-maintained (The brows of straight guys w/ girlfriends. They'll wax to prevent a unibrow but that's about it)

[btw, this will always be the correct way to maintain butch brows, forever. Like how femme brows should be 1950s style, forever. Just sayin]
20-30: gay boy eyebrows (impeccably maintained, thick, high arched. Like a Brazilian andro-butch. This is the generation that learned brow maintenance from Cara Delevingne, Ruby Rose, and TikTok.)
18-20: trick question. There are no butches under 20.

30, 40 and 50 year olds are on the cusp. Could go either way...

And now you're (kinda) equipped to guess butch ages! You're welcome.
