oh freud...
"Accepting that she does not have a penis is so difficult that, according to Freud, some girls persist for years in the belief that they can get one ("or something like it"). The desire can remain unconscious throughout life. For example, a grown woman who desires to "carry on an intellectual profession" is really expressing a disguised unconscious wish for a penis."
and all this time I've been so curious as to why I like to study.... ahh! yes! i don't have a penis! that's why! thanks Freud, i've been so lost without your wisdom!
