In comments on yesterday’s post about “shrinkage” Tantekoo said

What this post brought up is the main dilemma between women and men, or at least men’s perception of what they fear from women: that we will laugh at them. A very primal fear, and one that, not surprisingly, is seated in the all the angst and anxieties about the penis.

Funny to think that, gee, maybe denormalizing patriarchy might decrease men’s anxiety… that by giving up our stupid, politically abstract “phalluses” we might worry less about our poor, fallible fleshy penises… and increase appreciation of our sharable, cuddly, eager to please and be pleased… and sometimes perfectly, harmlessly goofy-looking cocks.

Seem like a no-brainer tradeoff, that.
