"Phallocracy"

 
1969: "French feminist activist Françoise d'Eaubonne invented the term phallocracy to refer to the symbolic and political domination of the penis in Western culture" (Preciado 168)
 
Preciado notes (169) that "instead of using the term phallocracy, it makes more sense to speak of phallocontrol--referring to that collection of pharmacopornographic mechanisms struggling to design the frontiers of the new technomasculinity"
