ABSTRACT
The formulation is inconceivable in terms of formal logic as it's structurally ambiguous. It may not mean "not all women" so much as "not all of any woman". But this very imprecision is the point. It's why, for Lacan, there is no such thing as "woman" or "the Woman", because there is no single concept that covers "woman". Homosexuality, as in a relation between two people with the same reproductive organs, is something else. It's not that some homosexuals aren't hommosexual, it's just that, in Lacanian terms, one's homosexuality or not makes very little difference to how love or get sexual enjoyment from other people. In spite of Freud's outspokenly non-judgemental stance, homosexuality became a fraught subject for early psychoanalysts. "Masculine" and "feminine" are used sometimes in the sense of activity and passivity, sometimes in a biological, and sometimes, again, in a sociological sense.
