Abstract

This article asks about certain suffering of feminism as it is a mass movement on the one hand and on the other by a flattening on the different levels that make up the link between men and women. Poses that man is man for woman and this is woman for man, meaning that the sexes are defined from a relationship, although it is an asymmetric link. He asks about the phallus and defines it as what circulates between the sexes. He points out that man and woman are categories that psychoanalysis constructs from the experience of transference. It also suggests that hysteria is not femininity, although this is its reference and that it is subject to such control that its strategies end up sterilizing desire. On the other hand, femininity consists in the possibility of being open to chance. And virility implies that someone is able to separate the woman from the mother, allowing her to be both object and cause of jouissance. The deep imbrication of the sexes is unknown by feminism, The phallic activity of the male implies, necessarily, an aggressive component that militant feminism does not cease to confuse with abuse and even with rape. There are no signifiers that harmonize a plane of difficult construction, because there is revealed an absent object that exposes human beings to the metonymic pilgrimage.
