"About four or so years ago, after a number of conversations with friends who were butch-identified or partnered with butches, the idea came up to have a blog full of photos of butches with babies," creator Meaghan O'Malley told BuzzFeed. She modeled the project after similar established Tumblr accounts such as Butches With Cute Animals, which is also exactly what you think it is. The project is about more than just "aww" factor – it's about breaking down commonly held stereotypes and prejudices. "I wanted to provide a space to normalize a dynamic that is rarely seen in the mainstream," she said. But yes, it's also about the "aww" factor.

O'Malley makes it quite clear that the site will never define what "butch" means for its audience or users sending in submissions. "You have the freedom to do that yourself," the project's FAQ section reads. "I believe butch exists on a spectrum, just like gender, and it without a doubt includes our trans* brethren. I will not judge or critique you, and I encourage the same from the readership. Butch, in all of its iterations, is welcome here."
