Dick is abundant and low value is a phrase that is widely used by women to put down men and is thus a form of casual misandry. The phrase was popularised by feminist writer Alana Massey in her article The Dickonomics of Tinder.[1] The statement itself is true and, in a way, the main reason for the existence of gynocentrism: those who produce the rarer (and thus more valuable) type of gametes (eggs, produced by females) are the individuals that need extra protection in order to make the group survive - and those who don't produce them (namely, males) need to compensate for that by achieving other things.
