Cool. I can't fully comment on this because I'm a straight woman, but I can see the appeal. What about it specifically turns you on?

Umm...I'm not sure. "Warrior" women are a turn on. But I think there's also an underlying appeal in seeing the softer side of tough women. I think this is related to crying as well in some ways. Uniformed women have an appeal as well, for some reason.

Ah, seeing the softer side of a tough person... I can relate to that (only with men, of course!). I can see the attraction to the "warrior" woman type, too, and I love that this is perceived as sexy. The uniform definitely goes with the powerful image -- commanding, strong, and courageous. Many of those women on that tumblr page are absolutely gorgeous, too.

Yup, I definitely see the appeal. I have a special place in my heart for strong women, since my name means "female warrior"

When I was a teenager I was attracted to women for a while, and I owned these two posters, which now embarrass me greatly:
