I knew it would be difficult, but I also knew it could be done. I found a vulvacentric image on a catholic church, in fact they were ALL over the church and all over other catholic churches around the city. Thus, though the Catholics are full of patriarchal phallocentric images they're not ALL about the cock. In a passive way they celebrate the beauty of the feminine as well. We just must look a little deeper to discover their appreciation.
I would love to hear your analysis of the giant cock in Logan Square. Maybe you could make a connection between the rampant hipster-ism and their most sacred of symbols....
