Thinking about the infamous snow penis, I got to wondering, why do we think of an errect penis as demonstrating male dominance and power, when it seems to me that its precisely a symbol of male weekness, I mean guys are constantly doing stupid rediculous and degrading things to get laid... It seems as though socially there's an awful lot of power that females have, socially at least, precisely because guys have such a tendancy to think with the wrong organ. So how does it become a symbol of male dominance when it is precisely the seat of male weekness?

I'm not entirely serious, but it is odd the way symbols get attached to ideas.
