I wanted to add that penis envy is relative. Men often are envious of those with a bigger penis. Some of them have greater penis envy than many (even a majority of) women. Worse, in many of these men, that envy is conscious.
I'm envious of you because of your language, German, which is the language of Freud. I'd like to read his original works. Failing that, I am in the process (though it is on ice for now) of reading a Swedish translation (a multi-volume set) of his collected writings. I think any biography about Freud is likely to be biassed, either for or against him. So, I want to recommend going to the source and judge for yourself.
I've seen people claiming that psychoanalysis set the field of psychiatry back several decades! It's hard to see how psychopharmacology is all that much better, at least in its current state, and worse, how it is normally practised (withholding MAOIs for example).

It is sublimation, which is considered a "mature" defence mechanism. Indeed, the products of sublimation are, probably with few exceptions, more valuable and worthwhile than acting out the "raw" impulse that drives it. It's still a defence though, but that is little more than a technicality.
