Prudence Gourguechon, M.D., current president of the American Psychoanalytic Association, comments on the Psychology Today blog about the multiple images of masculinity at the Super Bowl: “the hypertrophied virility of the actual competitors, the symbolic virility of the technical designers, team owners and advertising execs, the castrated fellows being offered a desperate way out of their subjugation to their feminizing women via a car or a tiny TV, and men in late life trying to pretend they are 20 years old.”
