Being feminist doesn’t mean we hate men

One day long ago, the father of psychoanalysis would write a paper stating that women had what was called “penis envy”. Sigmund Freud would explain that women, or rather “people assigned female at birth” developed deep feelings of envy when they realised that they hadn’t been born with the precious organ, but rather a shrunken form (the clitoris). And this, he would say, was what led women to spend their lives seeking to possess the one thing they weren’t born with and why marriage was a great achievement to the fairer sex because it meant that they now owned the coveted organ.
