The greeks, a hyper-masculine culture, considered small penises to be a symbol of masculinity. Does the emphasis on big penises today stem from a more dominant femininity? A bigger phallus is mostly important to women as it leads to higher pleasure for them. Did Freud say anything about this or was it not that common to talk about in his time?

No probably not as women are not the most neurotic about it and are terrible at estimating length anyway. It doesn't lead to more pleasure for women and most women think guys obsessed with size are losers. What it probably stems from is the consumerist society which believes more is better and in "more bang for your buck" It's the same thing that leads people to buy 5000 toilet rolls for a unit price saving of .001c, because they think they are getting a "deal" rather than being paid 5c to warehouse something which would cost much more to a supplier to warehouse per sq ft.
It didn't become common til after Freud, as he still regarded it as an illness, and it's more related to the rise of technocrats and the belief everything can and should be measured.

Penis envy is meant to be a psychosexual phase of development. To become a mature female, young girls had to get over that feeling of castration (usually by having babies and realising they were a creative force). If women still had penis envy in their adult life, it was seen as a lack of development. Same with men having castration anxiety in their adult lives meant they had not overcome their desire to fuck their mother and they still lived in fear of their father finding out.

As other anons have said, I think it’s the American ideals of size and power, and a similarly originating sexualisation of culture. Because as other anons have said, women don’t actually care very much unless they are humongous whores or you have an actual micropenis, I’m 7” and every girl I’ve been with thought I was big even the biggest they had had, women really aren’t as bothered as most guys think, they expect more in terms of your physicality and appearance than your dick size.

I'm wondering how many of the anons here actually stopped and took the time to ask themselves, "why would I rather have a big penis?" before posting in the thread. And of them, I wonder how many managed to begin with a personal, phenomenological response before shifting blame to another party.

I think something about how pornography works makes larger phalluses more successful in that environment, where selective power is in the hands of the viewer/consumer. The viewer/consumer's selection then is mistaken by men for women's selection. Hence >>15599012's points and size being something men worry about more than women. As for the aspect of the medium responsible, I'm not totally sure, but you can see how jawlines have been emphasized by the perspective of selfies as an analogy. Maybe it's just that porn is mainly visual and that the penis is mainly submerged, so people have an increased need to view length in that context. Or it could be that the vagina is inherently submerged, making penis size the only way to convey tightness. Either way I don't think anyone has had a trick played on them by anyone but themselves and technology.

It unironically stems from Arabs, Armenians and Africans, and whites who have been influenced by the sub-intelligence of these groups, who treat their women like meat and are the ones behind most of the "beta" and "cuck" posting.

To explain further, there is the traditional "beta" — the Greek idea, which was a position of respect — and then the modern "beta" — the Arabic/Armenian/African bastardization of the concept which is held in contempt. Loyalty, chastity, and respect for women are no longer considered manly, because these groups are sub-intelligent homosexuals who take their aggression out on the weaker sex who they hold in contempt. Hence their glorification of phalluses penetrating females that are too small for them.

Do you think that might be a large part of the reason why men feel so insecure about it? Because nobody will admit that they are just average?

If he means Athens: The only women allowed out of doors were whores usually. Women could only speak in court when charged with a crime, usually adultery. Whores were divided into two classes: those that were educated and could serve wine, which were expensive, and those that were cheap and just for fucking. Women could not become citizens or own assets in most cases.
If he means Sparta: women were raised to lift and fight so they could produce stronger offspring. They often dressed and spoke like men and rumours from other parts of Greece said they dressed in men's clothes so they could attract men. Sparta was pretty gay though.
If they mean Corinth, then they're probably wrong: women would sell sex and a good time to passing ships to the point of bankrupting vessels. Other women in Greece thought this was terrible since they should be married and weaving shit, but Corinthians thought this was capitalism and some sources say their women are the reason why Xerxes could not conquer Greece as they saw a whale coming and milked it for what it was worth.

yeah maybe, but that 'over-estimation' you talk about is still mainly factored for use by women. Guys are always insecure about their own penis size just like women could be insecure about their breasts, ass or even vagina - but I've seen many women talk about liking big, circumcised penises, specifically in front of men - usually used as a power move, or a brag that they could say such a thing with no repercussions. I've never heard any men use the same tactic in front of women. It doesn't really matter what is being measured, but rather the fact that whatever it is (including the mode of measurement) is publicly, freely, openly measured by women.

It's really only tangentially a symbol of masculinity.

For the Greeks, self-control (including with regards to sex) was masculine. Large, erect phalloi represented characters that were sex crazed and horny af. Ergo, big penises aren't masculine because they represent a lack of self-control.

In our culture, it is masculine to have a lot of sex (and do many excessive things, like drink a shit tonne). I honestly don't know why that is, but I suspect it does further back in Anglo culture, predates feminism and doesn't have to do with "dominant femininity."

>I have never seen men talk about tits or asses in terms of size or quality in front of women
That is totally implausible because women will use that for compliment fishing before they would ever talk about dicks out of nowhere. Generally the only time I've seen women talk openly about dicks is after some guy has been dumb enough to say he likes big tits in front of a small titted grill or likes small tits in front of a big titted girl. Or big butts in front of a girl with no butt and so on. Talking circumcised or not is even rarer than talking size, especially as girls often are surprised to see what the other kind looks like since in places where circumcision is normal they're unlikely to see uncut and in places that don't cut they're surprised to see cut.
I've lived in a couple countries and I've only ever seen women openly saying that when they have been insulted on their looks by guys too spergish to realize the trap they walked into. If you're seeing this a lot, you're sperging out a lot. That is if you're not making it up or only talking to female sex workers.
