Penis Envy:


Penis envy is the female counterpart to Freud’s concept of castration anxiety. In his theory of psychosexual development, Freud suggested that during the phallic stage (around ages 3-5) young girls distance themselves from their mothers and instead devote their affections to their fathers.

Female psychoanalysts such as Karen Horney and other feminist thinkers have described his ideas as distorted and condescending
