titty standoff
A titty standoff is when two women fold their arms simultaneously to indicate disagreement with each other, elevating breasts to display status. Anthropologically, titty standoffs are an important social ritual permitting dominant and submissive females to assert their disagreement peacefully before the submissive female is literally forced to concede the point. Submissive females - especially new young ones - are typically respected more in the long run for engaging in a titty standoff even if they lose rather than simply submitting because long-term acceptance to a tribe requires demonstrating that you at least have a bitch-switch worth flipping and can bring your bitch-switch to the fight on behalf of the tribe if necessary.
Cheryl and Shelly met in Cheryl's office. Cheryl closed the door and they both kept standing. Cheryl wanted to 'just talk' to Shelly about the benefits change in-private. Shelly has kids so it was a real titty standoff ; they folded their arms and they both got to the point right away. But then I heard Shelly raise her voice and say " No, actually I don't agree." Later on Cheryl sent an e-mail to everybody in the department thanking them for their honest feedback.
