The text in, Testify hold two meanings. The first meaning are two statements related to the drawing, Dissed. and, Used. Perhaps one has to read between the lines, as it were to find the real meaning, "Disuse". "Testify" is of course a reference to the near-legend of Roman men holding their testicles as they "testified" in court settings. Since women had no testicles to hold, it was said that they were unable to tell the truth. Much of the double-meaning of this piece is about hiding behind so-called male superiority to cover up what may be more correctly assumed as the truth.
