	The Story Of Religious Controversy: Chapter XI
		By "phallic elements in religion" I mean the worship of the human generative powers and of carvings or models of the human sex- organs.
		But apart from all these speculations, the phallic content of religion, in every continent, in all ages, has been extraordinary; and when nature-religions with such a content become ethical religions, the mingling of ancient "impurity" with the new zeal for "purity" affords one of the most grotesque spectacles in the human comedy.
		And when we learn that phallic stones were sacred all over the region, and that, on one occasion, when enemies stole the ark, the punishment took the form of widespread syphilis (euphemistically translated "emerods"), there is reasonable ground to conclude that the center of the original Hebrew religion was a phallic emblem.

		The second phase of the phallic superstition is that which arises from a perception of the value of the consequences of the act of generation.
		Circumcision, in its inception, is a purely phallic rite, having for its aim the marking of that which from its associations is viewed with peculiar veneration, and it connects the two phases of this superstition which have for their object respectively the of generation and the agent.
		The priority of the phallic superstition over "arkism," is proved, moreover, by the undoubted fact that, even in the traditions of the race to whom we are indebted for the precise details of the incidents accompanying the deluge, the phallic deities of the Hamitico-Semites are genealogically placed long before the occurrence of this event.

		Klein, Horney and Jones consider that the girl has a primary intuitive knowledge of the vaginal cavity and the conflicts of the phallic fase have merely a defensive function against her anxieties related to femininity.
		During the phallic stage, the culmination of the Oedipus Complex (which connotes the child's situation in the triangular relationship), follows different paths for both sexes in the process of its dissolution: threat of castration (boys) and the desire for a baby as a symbolic equivalent to the penis (girls).

		The phallic characteristics are more or less an ideal to be attained; this may account for the relentless drive of the depressive.

	William O. Gardner- Attack of the Phallic Girls
		He contends that phallic mothers are typically driven to battle by a desire to avenge a trauma of real or symbolic rape, while phallic girls lack such an originary trauma or clear battle motivation, and simply fight because it is their nature to do so—battle for phallic girls is a pleasurable, ecstatic experience.
		Thus she could be described not as a woman with a penis (the phallic mother) but as a girl who merges or “identifies” with a penis in a form of hysteria.
		It is the vacuity and unreality of phallic girls, who fight without internal motivation and merge with a phantasmal phallic violence, that Saitô sees as the key to their nature.

	Cansever: Psychological Effects of Circumcision
		In his writings on sexual development, Freud postulated that around the fourth or fifth year of life, the genital concentration of all sexual excitement is achieved and the boy's interest in the genitals attains a dominant significance.
		Although it is common knowledge in psychoanalytic circles that an operational procedure on the child's sexual organs at the phallic stage will augment his anxieties about castration, no research exists in the literature investigating the specific effects of circumcision practised around these ages.
		The results of the tests showed that circumcision, performed around the phallic stage is perceived by the child as an act of aggression and castration.

		The phallic song is, after all, a hymn to the phallus (22-25).
		The dithyramb and phallic songs to which Aristotle refers are to be sought in sixth-century Athens; both were part of the Great Dionysia.

	IRELAND AND THE PHALLIC CONTINUUM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Celtic society, like all patriarchal societies, had the cult of the penis at its core, to the extent that the human body itself was seen as a phallic object or symbol, and the severed head on a pillar a symbol of penis-power erected at strategic points on boundaries and at entrances.
		It is not surprising, therefore, that coital and phallic carvings, masquerading as Sin, should survive among the Romanesque and mediæval ruins of Ireland.
		Although their 'meaning' may range from potency to sin, and may be ambiguous or downright obscure, phallic symbols are universal, and they survive universally, whether or not they are consciously seen as phallic.

		Rushed to complete the video artwork (featuring towers that were rather phallic to begin with), the artist hurried through the background detail (at "about four in the morning") and inadvertently drew one spire that bore a rather close resemblance to a penis.
		The alleged "phallic symbol" in The Little Mermaid's artwork went undetected by the general public for about a year while the film was in the theatrical release.

		Phallic jouissance, of course, is the jouissance of language: “Reality is approached with the apparatus of jouissance...there’s no other jouissance than language.
		If there were another jouissance as opposed to phallic jouissance, “it wouldn’t be/could never fail to be the one.” Lacan’s use of a double negative is a way of avoiding a reduction of this Other jouissance to the economy of phallic jouissance.
		To understand the failure of phallic jouissance, it is necessary that one understands Lacan’s conception of object (a): the cause of desire.

	Influence of the Phallic Idea: Phallism in the Christian Symbols
		Reference may be made to the important place taken in Christian dogma by the "fall"--which I have shown to have had a purely "phallic" foundation--and to the peculiar position assigned to Mary, as the Virgin Mother of God.
		It must not be forgotten, however, that, whatever may have been the primitive idea on which these dogmas are based, it had received a totally fresh aspect, at the hands of those from whom the founders of Christianity received it.
		The most evidently phallic representation used by the Christian iconographers is undoubtedly the aureole or vessica.

	N27 - Carol Harrington
		Phallic masculinity is a chimera, as long as masculinity is defined through authority most men will feel cheated and bitter, emasculated, and women will be excluded from equal access to authoritative social positions.
		When a woman effectively wields power in a male dominated sphere, for instance by becoming a political party leader or a business executive, she is often interpreted as masculine, as phallic, for example the expression “she’s got balls” might be used of her.
		Phallic masculinity is inherently fragile because, while self-identification as masculine carries a sense of entitlement to power, few men feel that their entitlement is recognized.
