In an article for the Globe and Mail, for instance, Jordan Venton-Rublee defines a rape culture as “the environment that puts the onus on the victim, not the…

178), Lacan argued that hysteria is the question of femininity itself, which can be formulated as “what is a woman?”. This also applies to male hysterics; the term “Woman” does not designate a biological essence but a position in the symbolic order (Evans: 80). There is no female equivalent of a highly prevalent symbol such as the Phallus.
