Extracts of a conversation i had on MSN: "Why do men fear women?"


Men fear women because they do not have a penis. The annals of history have long considered the phallus as a symbol of power and virility. Think: a scepter of a king, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the poster for "Deuce Bigolo- European Gigolo".


By not having a biological penis, unlike men, the power of women ironically lies what they do not have. Without a penis women are immune to castration (or the "emasculation") of power. How then, is the power of a woman manifested?


The power women wield is intangible, unknown and very much unfathomable to men (since we obviously do not know what it feels like to have to squat/sit just to pee). Human beings fear what they do not know because it represents something they cannot gain a physical control of.


And hence men fear women because they do not have a penis
