==Sigmund Freud==
In the [[phallic phase]], the genitals become the focus of sexual stimulation.
In infantile sexuality, "only one genital, namely the male one, comes into account. What is present, therefore, is not the primacy of the genitals, but the primacy of the ''phallus''.<ref>Freud 1991e [1923]: 308</ref>
It is the [[presence]] or [[absence]] of the [[penis]] that forces the [[child]] to recognize that [[boys]] and [[girls]] are [[sexual difference|different]].
==Jacques Lacan==
