Why do lesbians go butch by the way?
Lesbians: we are attracted to women, we find nothing attractive about men
Also Lesbians (at leas the butch ones): We will emulate men. We will dress like them, wear our hair like them, talk like them, etc that's one side. Then the other side, we're not attracted to men but we want to date women who try their hardest to look exactly like men.
Heels were created for men, not women. Makeup powders and such were created for men, not women. Wigs were created for men, not women.
The greatest portion of history (outside of China) saw men as the peacocks, with women's primary "attractiveness" accessory being perfume to smell "nice".
I don't believe there's any "natural state" where men are gross and women are impeccable. I believe that's always been a societal construct. Women are every bit as big of lazy slobs as men, every bit as prone to being filthy unkempt trash.
The only thing I really see regarding women going "butch" outside the "easier to maintain" factor is that if they present themselves as men, many men may be less attracted to them, so it can cut down on the flirting (perhaps).
