Men's Group

Seriously, without getting too psychoanalytical about it-- there seems to be an awful lot of simple fear and loathing of the disembodied penis, the evil penis-as-oppressor, the great penile conspiracy, etc. etc. It would be funny, from a surrealist perspective, if it wasn't also a little sad. Andrea Dworkin, the great patryn saint of the 2nd Wavers, literally believed she was being pursued by giant invisible penii by the end of her sad, mentally ill life.

If I were to run around constantly ranting about the evil great toothed vaginas in the world and how they were conspiring to oppress me and bite my dingus off, people would say... "okay, er, vagina dentata-guy... therapy might be warranted".. But similar gibberish about the nefarious plotting phallus conspiracy goes by with nary a raised eyebrow.

Interestingly enough, it doesn't seem on the whole to be Lesbian women who have these, er, issues.... but rather hetero women of a certain demographic who, while being wired for attraction to men, have simultaneously been fed a whole bunch of Womens Studies' gibberish about the evil of the penis. So it's a love/hate dynamic, and I think like HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey, the conflicting programming instructions cause all sorts of fucking havoc.
