The little girl notices ==Freudian Dictionary==<blockquote>A further characteristic of the strikingly visible and well-proportioned penis [[sexuality]] of a brother or playmate, immediately recognizing early [[childhood]] is that the [[female]] [[organ]] as yet plays no part in it as -the superior counterpart of her own small and hidden little organ and from then on she is subject to penis envy. She [[child]] has seen it, knows that she does not have yet discovered it. All the accent falls on the [[male]] organ, and wants all interest is concentrated on whether it. This is the way Freud describes penis envy in ''Some Psychical Consequences of the Anatomical Distinction between the Sexes'' (1925j).The first allusion to envy in relation to the penis appears in ''On the Sexual Theories of''.[[present]] or not.<ref>{{QLA}} Ch.4</ref></blockquote>
<blockquote>If we penetrate deeply into the [[neuroses]] of [[women]], we not infrequently meet with the [[repressed]] [[wish]] to possess a [[penis]]. We call this [[infantile]] wish "penis-[[envy]]" and include it within the [[castration]] [[complex]]....<ref>{{TIAE}}</ref></blockquote>
<blockquote>We ascribe a castration-complex to the female sex as well as to the male. That complex has not the same [[Category:Psychoanalysiscontent]]in girls as in boys. The castration-complex in the [[Category:Termsgirl]], as well, is started by the [[Category:Conceptssight]]of the [[Category:Sigmund Freudgenital]]organs of the [[Category:Jacques Lacanother]]sex. She immediately notices the [[difference]], and-it must be admitted-its [[significance]]. She feels herself at a great disadvantage, and often declares that she would "like to have something like that too," and falls a [[victim]] to ''penis-envy'', which leaves ineradicable traces on her [[development]] and [[character]]-[[formation]], and, even in the most favorable instances, is not overcome without a great expenditure of [[mental]] [[energy]]. That the girl recognizes the fact that she [[lacks]] a penis, does not mean that she accepts its [[absence]] lightly. On the contrary, she clings for a long [[time]] to the [[desire]] to get something like it, and believes in that possibility for an extraordinary [[number]] of years; and even at a time when her [[knowledge]] of [[reality]] has long since led her to abandon the fulfilment of this desire as [[being]] quite unattainable, [[analysis]] proves that it still persists in the [[unconscious]], and retains a considerable charge of energy .... The discovery of her castration is a turning-point in the [[life]] of the girl. [[Three]] lines of development diverge from it; one leads to [[sexual]] [[inhibition]] or to [[neurosis]], the second to a modification of character in the [[sense]] of [[masculinity]] complex, and the [[third]] to normal [[femininity]] .... At first the girl looks on her castration as a personal misfortune, and only gradually extends it to other females, and eventually to her [[mother]].<ref>{{NILP}} Ch. 5</ref></blockquote>
<blockquote>The small girl feels sensitive over tbe [[lack]] of a sex organ equal to the boy's, and holds herself to be inferior on that account; and that this "penis-envy" gives rise to a [[whole]] series of characteristic [[feminine]] reactions.<ref>{{QLA}} Ch. 4</ref></blockquote>
<blockquote>The girl holds her mother [[responsible]] for her lack of a penis, and never forgives her for that deficiency. <ref>{{NILP}} Ch. 5</ref></blockquote>
===Child-Penis-Wish===
<blockquote>The wish with which the girl turns to her [[father]] is, no [[doubt]], ultimately the wish for the penis, which her mother has refused her and which she now expects from her father. The feminine [[situation]] is, however, only established when the wish for the penis is replaced by the wish for a child -the child taking the [[place]] of the penis, in accordance with the old [[symbolic]] equation .... Her [[happiness]] is great indeed when this desire for a child one day finds [[real]] fulfilment; but especially is this so if the child is a little boy who brings the longed-for penis with him.<ref>{{NILP}} Ch. 5</ref></blockquote>
