>The codpiece exaggerates male reproductive organs and a sense of masculinity,
sort of.
obviously it has a practical purpose too, a piece you can take off for a quick piss.
a female equivalent to this would just be a codpiece again with a funnel in it for pissing.

the thing is they're also a medical aid. a lot of nobles had syphilis and their dicks were covered with sore spots, so a large padded codpiece kept their peepees from hurting too much.
