It is a matter of being woman or simply of being? Is there actually a feminine way to be? Here, women put psychoanalysis into question. This article suggests a return to the notion of castration and to the developments surrounding the significance of the phallus. The castration experience is presented as being closely likely to the process of sexualization and to the individual's self-realization. The authors advance the woman's point of view, which questions castration. They find that psychoanalysis does not provide an answer, but imposes a limit: that of a symbolic order in which the individual must fit. Within the limiting phenomenon of castration, there remains the need for every man and woman in contemporary Québec society to share a sense of desire.
这是关乎身为女性还是仅仅关乎存在本身的问题？真的有一种女性化的存在方式吗？在此，女性对精神分析提出了质疑。本文建议回归阉割概念以及围绕阴茎意义的相关发展。阉割体验被呈现为与性化过程和个体的自我实现紧密相关。作者们提出了质疑阉割的女性观点。他们发现精神分析并未给出答案，而是强加了一种限制：即个体必须适应的象征秩序的限制。在阉割这一限制现象中，当代魁北克社会的每个男人和女人仍有必要分享一种欲望感。
