The conceptual penis as a social construct. Boghossian, P. & Lindsay, J. A. 2017. ![The conceptual penis as a social construct [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex Anatomical penises may exist, but as pre-operative transgendered women also have anatomical penises, the penis vis-à-vis maleness is an incoherent construct. We argue that the conceptual penis is better understood not as an anatomical organ but as a social construct isomorphic to performative toxic masculinity. Through detailed poststructuralist discursive criticism and the example of climate change, this paper will challenge the prevailing and damaging social trope that penises are best understood as the male sexual organ and reassign it a more fitting role as a type of masculine performance.
