Language, in its infinite whimsy!

Our feminist foremothers probably did not anticipate that one of the results of more equality between the sexes would include women saying, with all sincerity, "X can suck my dick!" as a phrase of generalized empowerment and contempt. It does not matter that you cannot (generally) receive a blowjob in that fashion, lacking that part, as you're not expecting (or accepting) one; it's the principle. I have the dick, and X can suck it.

Eventually the phallocracy may be toppled.

Until then, the phallocracy can suck my dick.

Hmm, my memories of similar slang back when I was growing up are hazy, but I don't recall hearing "she can suck my dick", only "he can suck my dick". (The alternative "kiss my ass" may have been less gender-specific.) This gives a different flavor to the expression as it used to be, and possibly (depending on the exact current usage) to what it is now.

I do have a dick. Two, even, one blue and one black. And the phallocracy can suck them.

The thing I have to wonder on though, is the implied attitude toward homosexuality.

You don't tell someone to "suck your dick," in the manner you mean, because you like them or you think they'll like it, but rather it is looked down upon as negative act. In it's original meanings, it is meant to convey a negative homoerotic imagery as well as imply that the object of the saying is somehow lesser than the speaker because of implied homosexuality.
