Okay so I was really annoyed after reading this article. Why do people go through so much trouble to point out differences that determine what group is superior and what group is inferior. If there is ever a case where there is true inferiority and superiority, the differences would be obvious, I think. There would be no need to go above and beyond to point out the differences that make something better than something else. If this Freud character was so smart, he would construct all of his research before deciding that women who don't have vaginal orgasms are frigid...there is no such thing as a vaginal orgasm, so all women are frigid. I am sure there was some information regarding the fact that if women have some sort of organ that is SPECIFICALLY FOR PLEASURE, it might have something to do with some sort pleasurable feeling, like, I don’t know, maybe a freaking orgasm.
The thing that really pissed me off was the fact that people took it so far as to perform clitoroidectomies on women. Are they so scared that the slightest evidence of women having something that resembles a penis might give them some kind of power? Here's an idea: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS POWER OF THE PENIS!!! IF SOMEONE IS POWERFUL, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE A PENIS!! Who knows what if the most powerful men in the world have some of the smallest peni? What if a mans' penis is smaller than a woman's clitoris (lol)? Is he less than a man? Some may argue thst he is. Maybe before we decide to elect Barack, we should check his pants first! Furthermore, why don't we take a look up Hilary's skirt; she is pretty powerful. Just to make sure...

Very humorous blog post, I must say. But yes Frued is pretty much uniformed. Much of his researched was based off of his position as a man. A man with power. A scholar. His research, or can we even call is research since I doubt he looked at the female anatomy.
But what you were saying relates to the Rich article, in that masculinity functions as the controller of the universe. The clitoris is not discussed and irrelevant because it is not benefical to men. Rather, it poses a threat to their ability to control and remain in a superior position. But, what if my clitoris was the size of a very large penis. There is no doubt that I would be the next President of the United States. Men would run in fear. Not knowing what to do. Something larger, more powerful than them would be riveting to their very exsistence.
