CHAPTER

Debating Freud's Penis Envy

This chapter critically examines Freud's theory of penis envy and its impact on women's relationships with men and their mothers. The speakers challenge the empirical validity of Freud's constructs while exploring the cultural implications and absurdities of the theory, particularly within the context of gender roles and identity. Through personal anecdotes and broader observations, the chapter discusses the societal obsession with male anatomy and questions traditional psychoanalytic views on gender and desire.
