Freud and weapons? Anybody here read and studied Freud a lot?
I read somewhere that Freud commented on irrational fear of weapons. And commenting on how weapons are phallic and those who buy long pistols are trying to compensate (or something like that, I dont understand really, please enlighten me)
Now I dont fear weapons, but the weapons I choose isnt exactly "long" for example, I would rather have the Walther PPK or Walther P22 (both of the slide length is like 6" long) than an M1911, for everyday carry, because its just portable and easier to hide (in which case it is a humble option) for my knife I would rather have the Emerson Combat Karambit (2" blade, 5" overall) rather than a Kabar or a Bowie knife. Again, because its more portable. So what would be the "Freudian interpretation" here?
I actually did 3 years of pure Freud, so I'm pretty knowledgeable at this stage, despite the fact that I absolutely despise the egocentric prick. He believed that the man's role in sex was aggressive and so men perceive their penis as a type of weapon. Men would also, therefore, associate weapons with their penis, and if they felt their penis was ineffective in any way would try to compensate for the lack of effectivity. So for instance, if you lack durability in bed you'll be motivated to get a gun that can hold a large magazine size, if you lack length you might get a sniper rifle or a sword, or if you lack strength you might get a shotgun, etc. In your case he probably would have either said that your preference in weaponry is motivated by a need to prove him wrong, or you've chosen those weapons because they're noted for being reliable and therefore you must not be or else you possess a fetish (fetishes are hidden and so are small weapons type thing). Freud's theories, however, are outdated, and none have withstood scientific testing. Hell, my fiancee has an M1911 and a bowie knife and he's no problem in bed.
