heehee

This is Phallus Week in my gender class, and I found this lovely little tidbit in one of my books, The Male Body by Susan Bordo.
"The penis, far from being an impenetrable knight in armor, in fact wears its heart on its sleeve."
She also notes earlier that Pat Califia (a lesbian theorist) suggests that men experience "dildo envy" more than women experience penis envy. I like taking classes where I get to read things like this.

Yeah, we read a chapter a few weeks ago and I wasn't too impressed, but now I'm liking it a lot more. Do you have it? If not, I'll send it to you after I finish this class.
