venus envy 

The envy of females by a male who so admires the opposite sex that he wants to be like them.

Venus envy is the opposite of psychologist Sigmund Freud's "penis envy" theory that supposed certain females had feelings of inferiority and therefore wished to have a penis.

Sandwich Envy 

A mental condition similar to Freud's theory of penis envy; however, sandwich envy is not strictly limited to females. Sandwich envy occurs when one person has access to a delicious sandwich, and his/her friend(s) do(es) not.
