A Butch Roadmap

[alissewonder]

I loved everything she said, except I can do away with chivalry, thank you very much. Chivalry is based on the idea that women are fragile and need to be protected. Be GENTLE! Open doors for everyone, carry stuff for everyone, be nice to other PEOPLE, not just to people you would like to fuck!

[secretagentloverdyke]

Amazing.



[1234TimTams]

WOW, 40... i would never have guessed. She looks amazing...

[mamasaid0]

I love this video so much I want to have her babies.

[femmgurl]

My knight in shining armor!!!! ( swoon)!

[tangent94]

For the record Ivan, some of us avoid the title of butch not because we are ashamed of it, but because we feel we don't DESERVE it.

[nonijoni52]

"Let chivalry not be dead" - OMG Ivan, I adore you!

[sweetdove15]

I just came across Ivan...where have you been all my life... You're awesome! I must introduce your comedy to my boi.

[cwjarvis3]

OMG!!!!! 6:05 LOVE IT!

[TheSkyAboveAblaze]

I'm from Winnipeg, where Ivan has spent the last year as the writer-in-residence at the University of Winnipeg. I can only hope she can help my city grow past the awful ignorance from that article.

[ayumihamano]

when I was 12 I told my mom I wanted to be Butch when I grew up. She didn't like that very much, too bad for her that's exactly what I turned out to be. Ivan you are so amazing, funny, and just all around made of pure unadulterated awesome!

[Reader12345678910]

Well done. Great message.

[MyFoxDemon]

i am so in love with this young butch warrior of words

[redherring93]

I love butches and femmes but Ivan is cute!

[orwellreturning]

P.S Ivan, you said in another video that people had told you that you are ugly. They must be projecting their internal lack of self worth. It is sad that they don't stop and check themselves, sort their sh*t out :/ I see nothing ugly when I look at you. I see beauty, strength, insight, courage and a wonderful sense of humour when I look at you (and I'm pretty sure I'm not projecting!).

[orwellreturning]

Thank you Ivan for standing up against the rot, -and- making it entertaining at the same time! A rare and much needed combination. More please!

[hellz2kaii7]

Ivans words never fail to give me such pride in my butchness

[davidanthonypassaro]

i love you

[CeCeBlondie666]

this is a brilliant video.

excellent story! :D

[thewayigroove]

Marry me?

[fivepercentn]

Thank you for doing this! Also Ivan will you marry me?

[toodewcannn]

"now i'm canadian, so, uh, this meant i was so mad i seriously considered writing a stern letter" hahahaha sounds just like my father!

[CharlieisaGirl]

You're beautiful man. 

[MJN13elixir]

Thank you, thank you, thank you - so much!

[YAYAH2U]

I think this was beautifully said. Wonderful!

[kickjaa65]

Great job Ivan! Keep up the good work!

[Loanratesofexistence]

Love Ivan. Love Butches. Love this.

[mcbutchboxer]

brilliant

[erthemama]

LOL 6:10

[JerriMaverick]

I nagged my girlfriend (the butch of us) until she finally watched this and then she was like "This is what I need!" lol. She's my little baby butch as I say. And I tell her to be like Mr. Ivan, because she needs to let her inner butch broaden her shoulders, and she needs to wear it, just like Ivan does. It's amazing.

[MainelyButch]

This is incredible...

[melizabeth196]

Only admiration.

[Serialangel]

I'm absolutely loving this!

[Shalimarfemme]

Beautiful! Thank you!

[PureWhiteGodess]

As a Butch Australian LeatherDyke, who loves my inner femme side,lol, I am not surprised that Winnipeg is heading this way, sadly this a global trend. Being Butch seems like we made the progression from the past, so we can now be ignored in the future. This is one Butch that will not sit quietly and watch us being eradicated.

Ivan says it all... I totally agree with everything she was talking about.

[krinbear]

[libbyatkins]

Jamie thanks for this one--LOVE THOSE BUTCHES--always have always will (and Canadian!!!!!!!)

[SKGInShow]

Thanks, Video Action Network, for posting this awesome video. Ivan rocks! Too bad hy is way up there in Winnipeg. Anyway, we have plenty of "inappropriate" butches stirring up stuff right here, too, in the Bay Area, too! Yay!
