My Dangerous Idea: Male Penis Envy

(10)

As I think about the barbaric practice of religious circumcision just now I am reminded that the influence of women in ancient cultures declined at about the same time that the practice of religious circumcision arose. The Goddess had no love for male sexual mutilation. Circumcision became popular only after the male gods gained dominance. Prove me wrong if you can. Ritual religious circumcision is a male phenomenon related to Penis Envy.

I've titled this post, 'Male Penis Envy' in contradiction of Freud who suggested that 'penis envy' was a female thing. Freud was wrong. Penis Envy is a male phenomenon very much related to circumcision status, not 'size.'

This is my dangerous idea.
