Do women view the penis as a symbol of oppression/evil?

Okay, I know that questions sounds OFF THE WALL...but here's why I ask: It seems that whenever some guy gets his penis cut off by some estranged gf/wife.(Lorena Bobbit back in the 90's was the most famous case...but more recently a woman names Katherine Kieu Becker did this to her husband in Florida just this past year, now I know that Lorena very likely was abused...but the other woman was not, she was only upset that her husband was going to divorce her)...Girls seem right on the bandwagon to say "you go girl" about the woman who did the mutilation, and make casual jokes about the incident. One fb group dedicating to feeing Becker had a lengthy article about how men are so obsessed with their penis and are wrong to be angry with these woman because they're just too into their sex organ (well excuse me for wanting to retain the body parts I was born with). Girls never bring this up out of the blue...but when these incidents happen here they are. There is also a movie called "teeth" where the female heroine removes the penises of the guys she sleeps with..and of course girls love it (some of the guys do try and rape her..but others are mutilated simply for being jerks). Also, I remember one girl who was discussing why boys do worse in school and joked that it had to do with something between their legs...so apparently girls have some kind of hatred for the male se organ or something...or at least they don't have sympathy for men who are attacked there...It makes me so angry...maybe ill start telling battered woman jokes and see how women like it...I won't respect people who won't respect me (not LIKE me...respect in a very general sense)...women who joke about this can go to hell.

  • The penis has never been a sign of repression.

    Ever.

    The penis is the one thing physically on a man - that is a direct source of male pride.

    I've heard guys say they'd rather lose their legs than their penis.

    Removing the male's penis is a huge attack on male ego - which is what makes up a lot of the male psyche.

    Men obsess over their size, and identify the penis as a bold symbol of their masculinity.

    A guy on here a little while ago, was talking about how he tried to force himself on a girl, and she damaged his penis fighting back.

    He felt like he was the victim because he had to get a lot of his penis removed due to trauma - evven though he pretty much was trying to rape her.

    He went on and on about how he felt like nothing and was horribly depressed - even though the rest of him was fully functioning.

    I've heard in psych lecture that little boys are terrified of losing their penises.

    This is the most horrific thing a woman can do atually - anyone can do, to really get to a man.

    So that's why it was done by those women - because it spites the men so much.

    As far as battering women - that's stupid idea.

    That's why the world is so sh*tty because people try to " get back " at others for this and that.

    Men are constantly attacked for this and that by all of society - whilst women receive not as much ridicule in that respect. ( Sexually we get hell -)

    The reason simply has to do with men being viewed as stronger. The world makes men out to be indestructible so naturally guys are just suppose to tough out the ridicule.

    Women are viewed as weaker, and men being bigger - why female rape and beating is taken so extremely serious, is because we all know men have the power to completely belittle and damn near enslave women if they wanted.

    Like if the world just suddenly went anti - woman and men made it out so that women were worth nothing but reproduction - that could be done. Men kept us from education, voting, forced us to depend on them. And there wasn't sh*t women could really do against the pride of men.

    Because of such a realization of men's true authority - a man abusing his strength and authority to rape or beat a woman - is viewed so awfully.

    Women being the " weaker " figure - taking a stand against men ( cutting of penis -) isn't seen as terrible because the thought is that he automatically deserved it - because men are so demonized these days.

    But dare you say a woman deserved to be rape... all female hell will break loose on your ass.

    Society has created such interesting standards for men...

    • Very well written. An honest reply like this one will always invite bitterness.

    • agreed.

    • That Men naturally have authority is a cultural/ philosophical./ political prejudice its not a fact. As is Women being weaker- cultural / philosophical / political prejudice. . A guys view if his penis, does not make it his central person. that's a cultural prejudice, not a natural psychological disposition. . A guy who has his penis removed is still a man. _ We _ are not all prejudiced and bigoted. Revenge is taken seriously because that's how the authorities in society operate. i.e. War.

  • I think the women who view the penis that way are simply exposed too much to GUYS who view their penis as a tool of power. An obvious example would be a rapist, but I think sometimes a sense of loathing comes from watching p*rn and seeing the women being treated in ways that the woman watching wouldn't want to be treated. Some people are understandably sensitive to that kind of thing, so when they see a guy face-f***ing a girl until she's crying, all the while acting like an arrogant jerk, it kind of gets ingrained in their mind.

    Obviously, it's still highly irrational to make the jump from "a few guys use their penis to exert power" to "all guys use their penis to exert power." And twisted beliefs aren't a good reason to go around encouraging genital mutilation (there's NO good reason).

    Another reason it makes me angry is because these women will often call themselves feminists :P Sorry girls, but cruelty toward men just because they're men (blatant sexism) is pretty much the OPPOSITE of what feminism is truly about.

    • I think FEMinists are mostly concerned with womens advancement...not anything necessarily wrong with that but they shouldn't pretend theyre equally advocating for everyone. I mean...all the feminsit blogs I know don't report on sexism agaisnt men and sure don't do it when its msitreatment of men by feminists or feminist ideas. Like I was saying there nothing wrong with that..but they shuldnt be saying that they are about both genders advancement.

    • I am :/ Whenever I have discussions with people about gender inequality, I almost always try to include an example of sexism toward men, especially how dumb gender roles are because just about anyone can relate to that. Feminism at its roots was women's advancement but I think the "third wave" should be focused more on how silly it is to treat ANYONE unfairly based on their gender. Excluding men isn't going to get us anywhere.

    • i think its a bit more complex than that..for example...gender quaotas? are they a good idea? Should we demand than all these occuaptions need to have 50% women 50% male? What iof it just so happens men are better in that inddustry? and women in others? should we give jobs to people who aren't as qualified jsut beccause they are the minority gender? I mean..to me..if we have enough engineers, psychologists, doctors...etc...it doesn't matter what kinda genitals that have...imo

  • I do the whole "YOU GO GIRL" thing if I think the guy deserved it like abused her, raped her, etc. If it's over a divorce though? Ha. Nononono. That's crazy.

    Like when I saw the movie "Teeth" I thought it was hilarious with the guys losing their cocks. They all deserved it too, so I didn't feel bad. The first guy raped her, the brother was a f***ing pervert to begin with, the old man in the car was a creep, and the guy that used her and said he would "conquer it" yea. I'm happy the movie took their cocks.

    But no, I don't see the penis as something evil. Where would girls be without d***s? Dildos are modeled after them, so that isn't an answer. Ha. I love the wieners, they bring pleasure.

    • I think maybe rape jsutifies it..but idunno about all abuse...i mean if I gave you a choice of a0 get punched everyday for a year or 2...or b) have your gentials permanently removed...which would you choose? it seems bovious one is worse than the other. And also...the brother deserve it jsut for being a perv? even though he never did anything violent to her? really? you thinka guy in a real life who makes perveted come-ons or comments deserves that?

    • Her brother was awful, and wanted to f*** his sister. Yes, he f***ing deserved it. I'm pretty sure anyone that has been in that situation would agree too. And I'd rather have my gentials permanently removed. I guess since our are internal you would take the ovaries or the uterus? No more period. Ha. And no unwanted pregnancy? Yes, let's go with that one. I think it's different if I was a guy, because d***s are "multifunctioning" you pee and screw with it. And guys are always worried about it's

    • size. They see it as a version of manhood or something. I mean Christ, my guy is big and he still wants to be bigger? I think you men have some unhealthy love for a penis. Honestly though, that's just a movie, it's fun to laugh at. The divorce isn't something y'all should lose your **** over. But I definitely am going to be cheering if it was rape or sexual abuse, yaknow?

  • Maybe to the Feminists, but then again, that has roots in Marxism (Communism), which has quite its reputation on killing,er mass murdering, peoples who claim to be different. In a sense they target anyone who claims to be different then a interchangeable part that all humans can do regardless of background of any sort/form. Which is supposedly suppose to make people feel better, but it doesn't even distinguish from ethics/morality, so its really just another demon spawn that wasn't aborted in birth. I'd say most women do not think this way, however the crazy lesbos who want to oppress males, yeah definitely. then again its all situational, the ones who actually do the act, may do so in the moment of anger.

  • There should be no urge to maim anyone. At the same time I believe rape of a girl is a greater crime than murder of a girl as it leaves an indelible mark.

  • "The Iroquois counted descent matrilineally, a common practice among horticultural peoples, and usufruct rights to clan lands passed down from mother to daughter. A man usually moved into his wife's household when he married and could be sent home if he displeased her. The matrons of a longhouse controlled the distribution of the food and other stores that made up the wealth of the group; they nominated and could depose the sachems or chiefs that represented each tribe in the Council of the Confederacy; and they "had a voice upon all questions" brought before the clan councils….."All real authority is vested in them...They are the souls of the Councils, the arbiters of peace and of war."….The women were the great power among the clans, as everywhere else. They did not hesitate, when occasion required, "to knock off the horns," as it was technically called, from the head of a chief, and send him back to the ranks of the warriors."

    Women have been chopping off appendages of unruly men for centuries. its nothing new.

    • so...ur okay with it then?

    • did you ask if I was OK with it? I am not in support of random acts of violence. towards men or women. those movies and things come out because of cumulative anger from people who are already facing violence. its not random. top rape & I'm sure a guys d*** being chomped down on will have no appeal.

    • wut do you mean by top rape?

  • no,it's just that men view it as a sign of their masculinity,and some-as a sign of superiority over women,so chopping it off represents cutting them off their power.

    • It is a sign of amsculinity...cuz its distnicntly male organ...but why in the world is it aisgn of superiority? are women just upset they have to sit down to pee? Jesus, excuse me for having a sex organ and something to urinate out of.

    • lol noo,we don't see it as a sign of superiority,men do,cause a lot of men think that they're better than women. also,in the bobbit case,he used his penis to rape her and to cheat on her,she cut off what he was using to hurt her. and I like sitting down to pee,sitting is a hobby of mine.

    • i think if anything its aliabilit...u have a sensitive and vlunearable part or your party just hangnign around and susceptible to being cut off...ur testicles being hit etc...i d like it better if everything was tucked neatly inside somehow.

  • i guess because they view it as the undrdog chewing at achiles heel.

    I don't think it's right or deserved but I can see that some might see it as entertaining because there is a touch of irony to it.

    • i don't get why women think theyre underdgos...they graduate college at higher rates than men (I think something liek 57% of grad are female) and since the economic downtrun they are more employaed than men...im worried about my generation...i seen all these girls from high school going to school and doing great things and my guy friends are becoming druggies/alcoholics dropping out..to be fair a lot of it is the girls parents spoiling them..they don't work and get their skool paid for..but

    • its still cocerning...i didn't have a lot of money and I worked a lot during high school so my grades werent hot enough to get schoalrships so I'm working and going to school part time and I'm trying to make something of myself...but I know that its convnetional wisdom that men are on top..i can see in 50 years men being an underclass...maybe much sooner...its scary..and if you bring up that men make more..if you looks at why..its because men work jobs with longer hours/dangerous...and men die earlier

    • " a lot of it is girl's parent's spoiling them." NO - that I must boldly disagree with. 95% of the female students that go to college get scholarships, take out loans, or work to pay off school just like the guys. Families with enough money to pay for their kids is very rare. I grew up dirt poor and worked my ass off to earn my scholarships - and I still have to work and take out loans to afford school. As have many other women. Less guys are just taking advantage of college -

  • i don't think abuse is a reason to maim someone - two wrongs don't make a right. there's always a choice - you can tell someone, seek help, leave...i can understand feeling desperate and alone but violence won't solve anything. I don't personally know of any girls who hate on the penis and I also think lorena and katherine must have been a little nut-so to begin with. really, I can't imagine a sane person chopping off someone's body parts no matter how backed into the corner you feel. I've never heard of the movie teeth - but from the description I can tell you I would not be interested - body mutilation, whatever the part, just makes my stomach roll. maybe others feel differently, idk.

    • i know a lot of girls that loved teeth..but yea...its REALLY graphic...id reccommend never wathcing it...and being a guy it made me cringe for like a good hour and half.

  • Um... when you say "off the wall" and getting "penis cut off" are you actually talking about the Glory Hole?

    • I don't understand...?

    • curious -- it was a joke :)

    • no.

  • what if you're a woman WITH a penis

  • For some women who have been raped or sexually abused as a child, I could see them viewing the penis as some source of mental and spitual oppression.

    • damn Sweetoness, why do you always have to talk so much? Is there any way you can shorten what you have to say? You have good answers, but it gets boring to have to read all that

    • Why damn SweetnessO? Just because you got bored? Yet you admit she has good answers.

    • she does have good answers but I was too tired to read that essay lookin thang :P

  • No, but I do think that sex causes men to act like they have no damn sense. It's frustrating when guys always want sex and sexual activity. I understand that we are human beings with sexual desire, but it is just plain idiotic as can be when a guy will settle for a gold digging, selfish b*tch who sucks his d*** and spreads her legs over a girl who could actually take good care of his heart. Or when guys cheat for the sake of getting some sexual pleasure when they have a good girl right next to them. It's not cool how guys pressure girls to be sexual to keep them around basically implying that what she won't do for him, another girl will.

    • Im a guy that doesn't want sex until I'm either married or in a HIGHLY committed relationship...ive never had a ggf but id hold on to any girl I could get and as soon as I was financially ready and if I had a girl that would put up with me...id want to get married right away...Mostyl because I'm very pro-life and I don't want to knock up some girl thatll run off and get an abortion not caring about our unborn child...and I just think its a waste of time and empty to have one night stands etc.

    • Well you are a very RARE guy! Most guys are not like that at all and it's so very frustrating to deal with

    • to be honest...i don't approve of most of my friends social choices...one is sleeping with a girl who has a fiancee...they have no concern about any unborn kids they might produce...its disgusting really but I try and stay out of their business...i know I'm rare and I wish I wasnt..maybe then women wouldn't be so crazy anti-male and stuff...every girl that hears me tlak about this stuff thinks I have some "get in the ktichen attitude and wanna marry a barbie doll..but I am not a very ...
