Depends on you look it it, penis cake at Bachelorette parties
Bachelorette parties: The perfect symbol of “post-feminism” March 11th, 2007

Let’s face it-as funny as eating a penis cake is, it’s undeniable that the act of doing so is engaging in an alarming and peculiar inequality. Men at bachelor parties don’t eat vulva cakes. That’s probably because they detect and revolt at the underlying communion-taking of eating symbolic foods. Which is really too bad, because a vulva cake makes much more sense as a visual pun than a penis cake.
I subvert:
I don't know if it's enough, but well, it's kinda like the wo-men thing again, I like to think, it doesn't mean that women are an extension of men but that men are a part of women, they came out of us afterall, born leaving the wo- behind, haha.
With penis cake, I get the eat thing, but well, with penis cake, before you swallow...you do chew them to bits first! You cut them into pieces and brandish the bits of it on a fork while giggling with your girlfriend, and then you chew it up some more.
Did you know the roasted penis was a delicacy reserved for the wife of the men in question in the cannibalistic funerals of the Northern Fore women of New Guinea, before they gave up the practice due to that brain disease thing?

Although, I suppose there is a depressing side to it in terms of well-known visuals. Most people knows that men have penises, and what they roughtly look like (I didn't know the 'banjo string' Frenulum exist for the longest time though), but when they think of what women have 'down there', they think vaginas, the canal where the penis goes and through which babies are birthed, instead of vulvas, which will be what you'll be able to see if you were to go down on women.
