He/Him Lesbians

I saw an interesting take regarding he/him lesbians and I wanted to know if anyone had any personal experience. From what I’ve heard, People who identify as he/him lesbians but do not identify as trans claim male pronouns in a way that is similar to claiming the masculine traits associated with being butch. They do not identify as men but more identify as masculine, and being referred to as he/him affirms this identity further. My question is, why not just identify as butch? To me it seems like the burden of womanhood as a whole is too overwhelming/depressing/umempowering and therefore it is easier to claim male pronouns and masculinity. I feel like my reasoning may have some holes in it and may even come off as naive or uneducated to some, please correct me. I feel like there is a grand discomfort with the oppression and social responsibility of femininity and being a woman, and so more lesbians who are butch gravitate to male pronouns. Where I get confused is with the semantics more than anything. Gender is a social construct, duh, but I still don’t grasp how some lesbians who are not trans still want to identify with male pronouns. Why is being she/her such a bad thing, or should I say why can’t women also be masculine? You don’t need to go by male pronouns to be considered masculine. If you identify as not being trans, attracted to women, and you go by he/him is it just because the cultural/societal associations with being a woman are off-putting? Am I talking out of my ass and being accidentally offensive? Please help me understand
