Quotes about Man

In this society, the norm of masculinity is phallic aggression. Male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic.

The main characteristic of phallic identity is that worth is entirely contingent on the possession of a phallus. Since men have no other criteria for worth, no other notion of identity, those who do not have phalluses are not recognized as fully human.
