>I think the statement has validity.

Bullshit. It's an old saw, like if a guy pays attention to his looks or dresses well - he must be gay. Taking everything for it's face value or attributable old wives tales is silly and somewhat dangerous.

>Guns, swords, etc. are phallic symbols.

No, they are weapons. If you get your kicks comparing them to your penis - you better use a small gun.

>While it is true to point out that obsessive compulsive behavior includes all sorts of other pastimes (computers, D&D minitures, cars, sneakers, etc.)

Could (etc.) include Dodge hemi pick-up trucks?


>most of those aren't nearly so phallic in nature.

Why is a comparision to phallis shape legitimate? That's like saying men drink beer because of the phallus shape of the bottle. Unless you are shoving beer bottles up your ass, who cares?

>And when I say phallic I'm not just refering to shape, but more to an underlying masculine nature and purpose.

I give my guns, swords and vehicles girls names... does that make you feel better?

>Like I said men's fascination with impliments of killing/destruction has a very long history. It predates us as a species.

OK, great, do you have a point or are you just making mindless observations? I'm sure somewhere someone has done a better job covering all this. Wait, Freud did cover all this phallus stuff. Didn't the field of psychiatry decide that Freud was full of shit?

-------

Just for the sake of argument, let's say all guys like guns and swords and knifes because they think it looks like their dick. So what?

I pretty much let my dick determine my whole life for me anyway. I'm pretty sure just about everything I do has something to do with my dick.

What about it?
