An aspect of Sigmund Freud’s developmental theory. Freud believed that during development girls had to switch from having the mother as the love object to having the father as the love object: and also switch from the clitoris to the vagina as the main genital zone. At about the age of four, Freud believed that girls first discovered they lacked a penis. The girl will blame her mother or the lack of a penis and the consequent hurt to her own self-esteem. This causes the girl to give up clitoral sexuality, and turn to the father as love object. This aspect of Freud’s theory has received a great deal of criticism, particularly from feminist psychoanalysts.

Penis envy is the reason feminists hate men. They are jealous of men's penises, and this jealousy gets taken out on men in the form of rage.
feminist: I hate men!
My friend: Why does she hate men so much?
Me: She wishes she had a penis... She has a bad case of penis envy

The ugly bull-dike lesbian at your work place who constantly attempts to belittle the men that surround her by making rude comments about their manhood, their penis, or the fact that she does not find men attractive. This is usually done in front of another woman or a group of people. The bull-dike acts this way due to penis envy and feels like she can get away with this behavior due to the political correctness that prevents us all from bitch slapping her face with our penis.
In front of white male co-workers, bull-dike Joan yells across the room to another female, Robin, "Hey Robin, Blacks have big cocks!"
This is Joan's attempt to make her co-workers feel inferior, all because Joan has penis envy, and wishes she had a penis.

A female who hates everything with a penis because of her past endeavors with ain't shit men, she instantly gets an attitude when a male tries to talk to her. She walks around with the stank face. She doesn't like when nice genuine guys speak to her with a friendly gesture such as "hello, how are you?" However, She does love to get shitted on by her ex.
Nice guy: hey , how'd you like the new tomb raider game.
Her: what do you want from me!? You're annoying!! All you men are the same!!
Nice guy: sounds like penis envy
