I've seen people (lesbians) talk about it, so I'm leaning toward "yes they can but not always", but I cannot give an authoritative answer as I am not a lesbian.

I don't think you can give a authoritative answer unless you personally are 'all' of the lesbians.
I think in the second half you're asking whether butches are more likely to be toppy and femmes are more likely to be bottomy.
I think there's probably some positive correlation there but butchness and toppiness are distinct concepts.
Things about this post:
- It's concise, and address the initial post
- I've never heard the terms 'toppy' or 'femme' used in this way, but I'm happy that I have now.
- Is 'Butch' PC these days? I'm old and can't keep track.
- It has the feeling of being written by a professional Lesbian scientist on their lunch break at work.
- I love it.
what's a power bottom in lesbian?
They generate all the power during scissoring.
The very real thing that lesbians do.
Daedalus threw his cousin off of a roof for inventing scissors, but jokes on him, lesbians invented power scissoring

If you do a little googling it is easy to confirm but there is the sexual definition like you where referring to and then there is just the more general relationship definition which is basically the Top is the more dominate / assertive partner and the bottom is the more passive partner.

In addition to the cis lesbian explanations below, don't forget about our trans lesbian friends.

C'mon OP, every sort of human sexual interaction has dynamics like this. Top or bottom, submissive or dominant, switching it up, all that, we humans do it.

I donβt think thereβs any group that doesnβt have some members who like domination. But Iβm just speculating and am not an expert.
Well I, on the other hand, AM an Expert Dominator.
