POWER of WOMYN

I am interested in representing female Power overcoming male Force. Force is fleeting and propulsive, power is constant. The relation between power and force is analogous to that between drive and desire. Drive swallows desire, but desire cannot be digested. The symbol for power is the Phallus, but the phallus is not to be equated with the penis, which is merely an occasion of the phallus. The unity of the phallus with the penis is brief. The phallus is the signifier of power while the penis is the signifier for the male gender; the former sometimes encapsulates the latter. When both are brought together, the union is sublime, and what results is absolute but finite power and force: orgasm. When they are separate, it becomes clear that anyone—women in particular—can have the phallus even though we do not have penises or that a man can have a penis, but no phallus, or power. Lesbian sex is an example of the former, while Viagra is a perfect example of the latter.
