Penis envy is the desire to possess the same sexual organ as men, which Sigmund Freud believed women unconsciously possess.
Freud's teaching that women suffer from penis envy is generally attributed to the Victorian assertion that male sex organs are better than those of females. While fashionable for a number of decades, this idea is no longer regarded as a serious psychological concept except by fundamentalist Freudians.
Feminists generally regard this theory as sexist, and are not alone in doing so.
Penis_Envy_(record) is also the title of the third album from the famous anarchist punk band Crass
