This tongue-in-cheek manual advises gay men on how to appear more “butch,” or stereotypically masculine, written in the style of a women’s magazine. “No one was born Butch. People were born babies and promptly burst into tears, which was most Un-Butch,” declares Clark Henley’s The Butch Manual, a hilarious 1980s cult classic that reminds us that being “butch” is just another form of drag.

The Butch Manual educates wannabe Butches on how to walk, talk, stand (or lean), dress and even what drugs to take to avoid “the freak out zone.” Henley doubles as a hunky model for campy photo spreads demonstrating the proper way to sit (if you must) and an admonishment to the fey among us: “Do not talk with your hands.”
