I have seen many comments to this effect ("envy" or "deprivation").  I find
them hard to credit, though.  I find that I (as a female) get many more 
offers of penises than I know what do do with, so I can only assume that men
don't really want them.  (This is relevant to the current discussion in
net.women regarding obscene offers shouted by men on the street.)  With so
many offers flying around, I find it hard to believe that most women are
suffering from "deprivation."  I think that the men are just trying to
make everyone *believe* that women want them, so that they can then be
proud of possessing them (penises).  After all, shouldn't you be proud of
having something everyone else wants?
