The fact that straight people literally cannot comprehend sexual intercourse that does not involve a penis or a penis-shaped object is proof of how deeply ingrained and insidious male supremacy is in society. For these people sex is penis+vagina or at a stretch penis+penis, but an act that doesn’t involve a penis isn’t sex, not really. Look at all the arguing over whether oral or non-penetrative sex really “counts”. If it doesn’t involve a man putting his dick into something they don’t consider it sex.
Which is why lesbians will never be safe and respected, or even simply tolerated, in a world which views men and their penises as fundamentally necessary for romantic or sexual relationships. Lesbians are constantly harassed to “just try” penis, questioned about their sex toy collections, invited to bisexual threesomes, told they just need a good dicking to cure them, cajoled and begged and threatened to accept men who identify as women into their lives and their beds. Lesbian women have always been reviled and punished for their sexualities, and considered defective for straying from the “natural order”. These days y’all just call them terfs, but it comes to the same thing. We’ve come full circle back to homosexuality being a problem that needs to be cured.
