Some Psychoanalysis On The Violations Of The Female Body
“My approach to perversion embraces the more general problem of its relation to reality and hence to truth…….As I have already stated, all of us are open to the perverse solution which constitutes a balm for our wounded narcissism and a means of dissipating our feelings of smallness and inadequacy. This temptation can lead to our losing the love for truth and replacing it with a taste for sham.”~Creativity and Perversion, Narcissism and Perversion, Janine Chassguet-Smirgel
Freud in 1911 wrote “Formulations on the Two Principles of Mental Functioning.” What interested him, however, was the relation of man in general to reality. Whatever was wished for was presented in a hallucinatory manner, or fantasy or dream similar to artworks of surrealism and Hans Bellmer. In this text, he enlarges on the idea expressed in “The Interpretation of Dreams” (1900), according to which there could be a first stage of satisfaction….It was only the non-occurrence of the expected satisfaction, the disappointment experienced, that led to the abandonment of this attempt at satisfaction by means of hallucination, or fantasy and dreams. This formulation sets up the idea of the reality principle.
After watching documentaries on Jeffery Epstein I’ve concluded the following. After discovering all his child victims came from homes that were troubled in some way, in ways that left the female child feeling unloved and insecure. The money and opulence he provided, made them feel like they were part of something worthy, something special. In addition, these girls were selected because he could manipulate them into doing what he wanted them to do because these girls did not know how to protect themselves from someone like Jeffery. Often we see the use of drugs and alcohol used by young men as grooming mechanisms for young girl’s sex. With electromagnetic frequency stimulation and signals, this medium becomes a grooming tool in which men can control women.
In one of the perspectives in the analysis of the on-set of electromagnetic frequency attacks on the female body and the targeting of females (TIs), I have concluded from the female perspective of the maternal vertical position or absolute law of the mother, that it may be the sexualized embodiment of the female child that may be found threatening to the mother because this represents a loss of control over the child. Her child now represents a symbol for sex, the female embodiment of adulthood. Furthermore, if the child becomes promiscuous, the female child’s sexuality may be repudiated because it represents the maternal right or entitlement that the mother must confront and work through. The work of mourning of her role in the outcome of her promiscuous child’s behavior. Mothers who cannot mourn, cannot work through the blame will find other perverse means to defend against it. Humiliation is one perverse solution.
Alternately, the knowledge of her heterosexual female child’s sexual lifestyle may be repudiated because it represents something, if she is a much older female, that which has been lost; fertility and the ability to turn a man’s eye and bathe in “the male’s gaze.” Freud touched upon this process in “The Splitting of the Ego in the Process of Defence” (1938):
“Let us suppose, then, that a child’s Ego is under the sway of a powerful instinctual demand which it is accustomed to satisfy and that it is suddenly frightened by an experience which teaches it that the continuance of this satisfaction will result in an almost intolerable real danger. …. Thus there is a conflict between the demand by instinct and the prohibition by reality….On the one hand, with the help of certain mechanisms, he rejects reality and refuses to accept any prohibition; on the other hand, in the same breath he recognizes the danger of reality, takes over the fear of the danger as a pathological symptom and tries subsequently to divest himself of the fear.”
From a lateral angle (siblings), if the female is a same-sex female, and if maternity or pregnancy is repudiated, the female body perceived as a sex symbol may be repudiated because of its implications towards motherhood and one’s ability at turning a man’s eye in competition; all of which represent a form of power. The power to castrate from the female vertical as the very act of sexual intercourse that risks the possibility of maternity. This power to castrate from a vertical angle causes separation between Objects. When we think of castration we think of Freud’s theory of the father’s large castrating phallus and the little boy’s fear of it because of its size. But pregnancy in the female body represents, from the female vertical and lateral, female procreative power, and the realization that which is vested in the female body can be just as large, just as castrating, and just as feared. In the words of Sigmund Freud, “The synthetic function of the Ego, though it is of such extraordinary importance, is subject to particular conditions and is liable to a whole number of disturbances.” These disturbances influence and cause change in our daily lives.
It is important to note, there is a difference between the pregnant body form (as a symbol) and the obese female form (as a symbol), of which both forms can provide a real sense of fear and repudiation for the female. Also, these images can also evoke feelings of humiliation in women as well.
From the paternal vertical perspective, that is, Freud’s perspective, his contributions to psychoanalytic literature were profound but limited to the father’s castrating phallus. We would have to wait a few decades until the work of Melanie Klein is published to understand the maternal vertical perspective of castration.
So, we certainly can understand masculinities as belonging to fathers and sons. We can also analyze and interpret the electromagnetic frequency tool used against female targets as “father’s castrating phallus” (as a symbol). We can also understand a man’s perception towards female sex symbols as “whores” and “prostitutes,” fantasized forms of female evil, which are nothing more than delusions. But it takes a female perspective to more deeply understand truly what it means to be sexual, feminine, and, at the same time, a symbol. Why would a man want to disarticulate the female body? We look at the artwork of surrealist artist Hans Bellmer. Jean Brun thought the purpose of The Doll was to dethrone the father and his genital begetting capacities, implying the doll maker’s tools as “phallus.” Or more importantly his tools as a castrating phallus. By completely annihilating the body of The Doll Bellmer permanently disrupts any possibility of a male’s genital begetting capacities, not just the father’s. He imprisons The Doll in a state of distorted, grotesque, and bizarre form that not only disturbs the mind but is frightening as well.
