actually, yes... but what you said about butler i agree with, which was kinda why i noted that indeed there was a discussion here, of the differential relation to claims of phallic possession, of their effectivity, and so on. i was objecting to the implications of yoshie's use of it as a crit; and, not necessarily how he might be thinking of it, but how it can so easily feed into a distinction between proper and improper claims of possession.
