The sword as a symbol for the penis.

The spear looks way more like one.

Unless you did something like add a hilt that looked like testicles on Ike's sword from Fire Emblem, Ragnell, but it is usually not like this.

This particularly bothers me when people consider a sword a symbol of the penis when the blade is very long and...whatever the opposite of wide is.

There's also how it's typically the entire sword, rather than the blade alone.

    A flanged shield is symbolic of a vagina.

    It's long and pointy.

    That's apparently enough for it to count as a phallic symbol.

    That's typically true, but people always think of swords rather than spears or some other more long and pointy weapon.

    Swords are more popular.

    The Hero wields swords. Spears almost always are the domain of The Lancer or other characters.

    In that case, I don't see why they don't go all "lol, The Lancer is compensating for something because he isn't as good as the hero"

    Because everyone is having sex with the guy with the sword.

    Doesn't that mean the Lancer would be compensating for even more, in this example?

    Also, speaking of that, people who have large swords are typically considered to be compensating for something, but if everyone is having sex with the guy with the sword, that means there's nothing to really compensate for.

    Well, there's that one comic Empowered with a hero called Phallik whose weapon of choice is the.. Phallospear.

    So they got it right, I guess.

    It's powerful. It's longer than it is wide.

    If it's longer than it's wide, then it's phallic
    If it's longer than it's wide, then it's phallic
    If it's shorter than it's wide, then you turn it on its side, and it's longer than it's wide, and it's phallic.

    "whatever the opposite of wide is."

    ...Narrow?

    Well the word "vagina" comes from the Latin word for sheath. I'm guessing the symmetry of the sheath and the sword is part of what led to the symbolism being more common.

    Bombs and missiles are not phallic shaped. Stop trying to imply this.

    Grenades are phallic.

    Vorpy. You make me think that you've never actually SEEN a penis before.

    But I know this is not true.

    So you must just be vorping.

    "Well the word "vagina" comes from the Latin word for sheath. I'm

    Hm... In German, the word (or rather one of the words, since we have "Vagina" too) for vagina is the same as the word for sheath/scabbard ("Scheide").

    That reminds me of a quote from a P&P RPG session, I once read. Someone was chasing a female warrior and to stop her wanted to grab the sheath of her sword. Hilarity ensued when he said "I grab her sheath", which sounded exactly like "I grab her vagina".

    Then again that's what I can call it when you decide to be an extremely bleak, uninteresting and forced negative goth kid.
