Is it just that the designers of these monuments evolved from being one of these penis-drawing kids, or something more?

Well, "menhirs" (
Menhir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), or gigantic, rock-hard prehistoric monolith sculptures, are thought by some to have been "used by Druids for human sacrifice, used as territorial markers or elements of a complex ideological system," or used as calendars. But I suspect they were meant to look exactly like what they look like!

I find nothing ugly about male or female genitalia. They are more...interesting. However, when men have suffered genital cutting as children (circumcision), I feel their penises look a little sad, with the large scar around the penis, sometimes with skin tags that form between the glans and what is left of the foreskin, and sometimes with their penis warped during erection.
It isn't that their damaged penises are ugly...it's just that I recognize they aren't fully functional anymore, since they lack their foreskin, and that makes me sad for the man and for the child he was who suffered having his foreskin ripped and then cut off, probably without anesthetic, plus was sore for 10 days or so afterwards while the torn skin on the glans healed.
And after I feel sad, then I feel angry that parents and doctors didn't protect the child who grew into the man I care about.
