A Note on the Mythology of Pussy and Dick
Marvin X, Publisher, Outlaw Magazine, Spring Quarter, 2021
Now that the subject of this initial issue of Outlaw Magazine has captured the reader's attention, perhaps we can get down to the business of male/female relations in the MeToo Era. Surely, you have heard not to judge a book by its cover, so although some of you have already presumed we are about the objectification of males and more especially females and we are known for being provocative and hyperbolic, so we suggest you transcend the surface structure title of this issue and allow your mind to explore the deep structure substance of our narrative. Get past the low information vibration mentality as Queen Phavia Kujichagulia told us in her poem Yo, Yo, Yo, "If you think I'm just a physical thing, wait til you see the spiritual power I bring...." And this applies to both genders, and for that matter, all those transgenders in the modern world. But our primary focus in on males and females, especially as defined in primordial, biblical and spiritual writings since time immemorial, although we are in an age and time wherein people truly imagine they are smarter than the ancients, even the gods and goddesses.
But no matter whether of the male and female genders or the many transgender configurations of today, we know much of what we shall say in the narrative of this issue of Outlaw magazine, will apply to all, for much of our concern shall be about the deconstruction of power and domination, thus gender simply does not matter in the endgame. Alas, humans are often found to desire power and domination in all partner relations. Yes, the patriarchal mythology operates in the deep structure of most human psycho-social behavior today. But we have observed that even when the matriarchal mythology is active, the same need to exercise power and domination prevails, including and especially acts of violence equal or surpassing violence in patriarchal myth-ritual psycho-social relations and situations.
Nevertheless, we must initially address the patriarchal myth-ritual that is global and thus pandemic in its toxicity, trauma and violence against females and the multiple transgenders that seek recognition of their psycho-sexuality, i.e., humanity. Far too often social planners seek to address multiple issues simultaneously when it is sometimes better to unravel the dirt beneath rocks one at a time. Although we can surely see that toxic partner relations resulting from the need for one partner to exercise power and domination over the other is pervasive in this global human myth-ritual drama. Mary J. Blige pleaded us to cease, "No More Drama!" But to no avail, for partner drama is so pervasive and languishes so deeply in the deep structure of our myth-ritual relations that we may need to deconstruct the toxicity thereof brick by brick. Ah, but as we begin the deconstruction, we immediately discover it has pervaded all of our social institutions and is thus systemic and on the scale of mild, moderate and severe, it is the latter. But surely we know even when we decipher the problem, our resistance takes the classical form in any addiction: denial! We refuse to accept that the root cause of our problem is pervasive throughout all of our social institutions, i.e., religious, economic, political, educational, military. For sure we understand much of the problem we're concerned with evolves from religious myth-rituals of patriarchal origin, no matter primitive, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Yoruba, Jah Rastafari, et al. Thus any deconstruction of such global myth-rituals in the spiritual sphere may be overwhelming and may take eons to eradicate or adjudicate. The problem will, in short, necessitate revolution in the spiritual order but not without a concomitant revolution in the other social institutions simultaneously. Our problem is compounded by the agendas of other social forces seeking to aggressively make their agenda the new order, whether political, economic or some sinister combination thereof or even transcending these basic institutions to reset the social order with their visions for the future, whether divine or demonic.
No matter what, we cannot continue the present myth-ritual drama that dehumanizes us all, men, women and children. Violence is not the single source of this social toxicity, well, not physical violence, for just as harmful is verbal and emotional violence. France has banned verbal violence and the global village should consider the same, along with the myriad toxic activities the patriarchal society has delivered us, i.e., women as chattel or personal property, honor killings, rape, incest, prostitution, especially child prostitution (although we favor legal prostitution with recognition of sex worker's rights recognized and codified).
The above are some of the our serious concerns in this issue of Outlaw Magazine. We hope you will get beyond the cover title Mythology of Pussy and Dick and understand the serious nature of our concern that is a matter of life and death for many in our global village.
