Freudian slip: where you say one thing but mean your mother.
I’ve always heard it as “Where you mean to say one thing but fuck your mother”
Freud was all about building interesting models for human consciousness, then using them to come to the wildest conclusions.
Tbf, with the sexually repressed and patriarchal society he was working in, there may have been some truth to the complexes he described. But to try and universalize them was a mistake imo.
Some interpret “penis envy” as a purely symbolic metaphor for envying the power and freedom given to men, with the inverse “castration anxiety” being fear of losing said power.
Freud hypothesized the subconscious had its own logic that was more about association than rational connection.
He definitely had a thing for mothers too, so it’s weird that he’s disagreeing with her in the last cell.
If it was a man instead of a woman the problem would be the mother.

Great comics about the depressed philandering cokeheads who shaped much of modern philosophy!
It’s kind of ironic that Freud came up with this weird theory considering autogynephilia is more common in men than autoandrophilia is in women: The Prevalence of Paraphilic Interests in the Czech Population: Preference, Arousal, the Use of Pornography, Fantasy, and Behavior
Many of Freud’s early patients were dissatisfied housewives. I have no difficulty believing he accidentally discovered trans men and came to the conclusion all women wish they have a penis. Hirschfeld he was not.
Science facts I question why you know, for 500$, Ragdoll.
But in case you’re curious about the actual answerAges ago I was doing some research on the prevalence of different paraphilias (my main focus being zoophilia as I was contributing to WikiFur), and this was one of the few large representative studies I came across. There’s one more from Canada, but they didn’t ask about autogynephilia/androphilia.
Reasons…
Autogynephilia is an outdated, thoroughly debunked term btw. Find some reading below:

https://archive.is/fw208It’s quite clear by now that it has practically nothing to do with gender incongruence, i.e. trans folks, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist as a paraphilia. That is, just because Blanchard got his theory wrong based on incomplete data and probably a good dose of being born into certain social constructs doesn’t mean that no cis men get aroused at the thought of them as a woman. It is, as the study in the comment you replied to shows, actually quite common.
Gotta distinguish between the phenomenon auto[gyno/andro]philia (exists), Blanchard’s interpretation wrt. trans folks, (falsified), and TERFs (hateful anti-science assclowns). Otherwise we’d be kink shaming.
Freud studied the Old Testament, you say?
In a society where women were repressed into a very narrowly defined role with no room for deviation, the other half enjoyed an attitude of “boys will be boys” and could behave “freely” from their perspective, within a less narrow but no less rigid societal constrain.
Women were literally prohibited, or at least severely frowned upon, to embark on a myriad activities that were acceptable and expected for men. Women were literally prohibited from entering many physical spaces, and were expected to be confined to other spaces - like the kitchen, the parlor and the tea room.
I guess it was impossible even for Freud to see how “penis envy” might have been, at root, “I wish I was a man so I could escape this narrow set of rules I was born and peer-pressured into, with no choice by me, I wish I was free” (not quite free, just “less trapped”).
Penis science!
Its a bit rough at the campus, but the science building has great architecture! So very tall!
But we mustn’t forget about the two buildings beside it. Never neglect those or you won’t get a PhD (pretty huge dick).Is there a version with less pixels? I can still read some of the bigger texts.
My pixel plan only includes 800 pixels for the week. Please try to be more responsible with my pixels in the future.
Thanks but still a bit excessive - resolution doesn’t grow on trees you know

Legend. Tyvm. Updating.
Ah update. I was confused for a bit because I could read it just fine and couldn’t understand why so many people were trying to read the non-HD image.
As requested: one pixel.
you can tell its been photoshopped the colour is off
Naw, Photoshop would’ve taken like a whole minute. This was whole entire seconds of work finding an existing pixel online somewhere:-P.
If you really want to get fancy, you could compute the average coloration across all pixels from the entire image - but would it be recursively applied, i.e. a progressive pixelation process, or all at once in an efficient (both in terms of computation & memory requirements, plus infinitely parallelizable too!) lossless sliding window algorithm?
Or pick the most common (mode rather than average) pixel color, which looks to be the blueish background? What I went for (uh yeah… on purpose, sure…), rather than average, median, or mode, was the longest continuous stretch of coloration, as in longest length vector from one side to the other. The blue tends to be interrupted by other colors while the brown… uh, holds the highest amount of cocaine?
I like the subtle yet complex statement the artist manages to transmit.
Art can evoke many feelings within the mind of the viewer.
Primarily what I receive from this one is a sense of… “brown”:-P.
Did you say… MORE pixels?
MOAR
You say pixels, but what you mean is penis.
I … I admit it. It’s penii
amall the way down.
I tried to wipe my phone screen twice looking at this before I realised it’s just been repeatedly jpeged
Well loved.
it’s crystal clear for me tho
We’re gonna be talking about the PENIS!
And the vagina! And MASTURBATION!
Do you think that’s funny, Butt-Head?
