\\\"Note that Lipstick Lesbians do exist, making this a case of Truth In Television to a degree. They just aren\\\'t nearly as large a proportion of the real lesbian population as the fictional one. Keep dreaming, straight boys.\\\"

Because it implies that the majority (possibly even vast majority) of Lesbians fall into strict Butch/Femme roles, which is just not true. The \\\'to an extent\\\' line in particular makes it sound like the LipstickLesbian is a rare beast akin to the tasmanian tiger. Could we get it replaced with something a little less generalizing? Something like this, maybe:

\\\"Note that LipstickLesbians do exist, making this a case of TruthInTelevision. However, in the world of fiction, virtually \\\'\\\'every\\\'\\\' lesbian not played for laughs falls into this trope. Keep dreaming, boys.\\\"
