penis envy:

Feminists today argue that penis envy refers not to the penis itself but to societys general favoring of males over females. Women are envious of how society treats men; they dont want penises, they want equality.

Quotre: Lawrence Paros in The Erotic Tongue (1984): ' An urge repressed at an early age to possess male power and exercise the male prerogative. A more succinct update in Psychology Today defines penis envy as "the desire to be red, wrinkled, and four inches long ."'
