really dislike that such a big part of (cis) lesbian comradery and casual conversation (unless I’m around other cis lesbians who are very critical of it, which there are) is joking, sometimes really maliciously, about how nasty “dick” is and how slutty people (women really) who “take dick” are. Like not only does it isolate transgender women and breed a culture of transmisogyny that is … really unnecessary (you don’t have to tell nasty jokes like that to talk about your lesbianism) but it leads to separation and strife between bi women and lesbians bc even though many cis lesbians think it’s ~just joaks~ there is a value system among lesbians (and bi women) based on whether one has slept with a man or not or how many men she has been with and, like, I don’t know how that is at all a good or healthy way to measure a woman’s love for other women. patriarchy literally already has a value system built around how some kind of “phallic” contact taints a woman. men are even uncomfortable with women’s clits bc they can be seen as phallic. like, lesbians don’t need this and there’s actually nothing ~radical~ about including it in our culture.
“patriarchy literally already has a value system built around how some kind of ‘phallic’ contact taints a woman.“
So my boss once robbed a museum to prove a point and honestly, I think she is my new role model.
If this gets notes I’ll tell the full story

Many years ago, my boss was working at this museum and they had these original Churchill documents on display. These documents are worth millions of dollars… The only thing separating the public from these documents was a sheet of glass secured with 4 philips head screws. Seriously. No security guards in the room, no cameras, just an easily removable piece of glass.
My boss pointed out the security concern, but she wasn’t taken seriously, so she took matters into her own hands.
She bought a ticket and pretended to be a guest. She entered through the main entrance with a huge drill clearly visible on her belt, went straight to the documents and opened the case with the drill. (While wearing gloves,) she removed the documents, put them in a folder, reattached the glass, and walked out the main exit. Literally no one even questioned her.
She immediately went around to the back of the museum, entered using the staff entrance and went straight to her boss’s office. She dropped the folder on his desk and said “I just stole these in 15 minutes“
Once he was done being mad at her, he listened and the museum increased security.
