n. (the adj. is “penis-cultural”) The term comes from Part II of Maggie Paley’s book “The Book of the Penis” (Grove Press, 2000). A conflation of late-adolescent and hip-hop culture, traditional sexist and homophobic attitudes in young men which makes them consider anything outside their everyday experience and their obsession with bodily functions and especially their own penis as “gay”. For instance, in penis culture, a child collecting seashells as a hobby is “gay”.
The penis-cultural movie reviewers weren’t kind to “Meet the Spartans”.
Any film that is not the adaptation of a comic-book can be seen as an insult to American penis culture.
