Abstract
This article examines how women in two different social networks, a lesbian feminist network and a recreational softball team, embed formulaic jokes and teasing within larger interactions in order to stake out a stance with respect to culturally salient stereotypes about lesbians. The women balance the competing and complex demands of an orientation to social similarity and social differentiation.
