Note: There is a discrepancy in where the capital letter is put in the title between Cormac Gallagher’s translation and the published French version. The version given by Cormac Gallagher makes more sense to me and is used in this title.

Quote: The contemporary questions of feminist movements – including #metoo- on the violence towards women and the denunciation of a “rape culture” for example, are addressed to men and remain to be explored. The Lacanian orientation can become its addressee. In 1969 Lacan gives an indication which can guide us : (See in bold) Seminar XVI : 5th March 1969 : pXIII 11-12 of Cormac Gallagher’s translation :
This position in logical unveiling starts from an experience whose correlation is perfectly tangible at every level of analytic experience. I mean that it is always from a beyond of enjoyment as an absolute that all the articulated determinations of what is involved in desire logically find their correct place. This reaches a degree of consistency in the statements that refutes all the out-of-datedness linked to the randomness of origins. It is not because the hysterics were there at the start through an historical accident that the whole affair was able to take its place. It is because they were at the right point where the incidence of a word could highlight this hollow which is the consequence of the fact that enjoyment plays here the function of being outside the limits of the game. It is because as Freud says, the enigma of what a woman wants is there, which is an altogether displaced way of pinpointing what is involved, on this occasion, about her place, which takes on its value from what a man wants. That the whole theory of analysis, as is sometimes said, has developed along an androcentric channel, is certainly not the fault of men, as is believed. It is not because they are (169) dominant, I particular, it is because they have lost their way and that from then on, it is only women, and especially hysterical women who understand something about it.
