We hear this term from time to time. Usually it is used when a female says an insult to her counterpart. The response is "You have thingy envy."
What does this mean exactly? Is it envy of the actual organ or envy of the differences allowed men and women in society?
For example, the old way of thinking regarding sexual activity still exists. A man with several partners is not as quickly frowned upon or frowned upon as much as a woman with the same number. When women complain, I've heard the response be... You have thingy envy.
Is this accurate? I would consider it a want to have the same rights in social contexts as men. Certainly it would be great to be the opposite sex for a day. Quite frankly, some of the first things I would do is pee, wank and then see if I could have sex. It would be interesting and useful to experience those things from the other point of view.
It would also be interesting to walk around as a man and not have this odd feeling... most females reading this will know what I mean... of needing to be watchful. You know the one, when you walk along on a quiet street later in the evening... places not well lit... it is something wired into most women to pay attention to what is going on around you.
So, is this thingy envy? I enjoy most things about being female. Being girly, feeling completely mushy and not being concerned to show it. Thinking about that last bit, maybe men should have girl thingy envy. Society does place on them an expectation to be less emotional.
Thoughts?
