HORSES AND THE EMBODIMENT OF ELITE MASCULINITY IN THE DOLENJSKA HALLSTATT CULTURE
In later prehistory horse ownership was a manifestation of wealth and physical prowess, and demonstrated access to distant lands. Because of the
expense and restricted availability of horses, they are often reduced to indicators of status without more nuanced considerations of how lived human-horse interactions enmeshed them in these status displays. To complicate the simple horse/status object equivalence, this article presents a specific case for the symbolic and social significance of horses in Early Iron Age south-eastern Slovenia through the lens of equine iconography, and argues that horses and particularly equestrianism were essential to embodying elite masculine identity. Broadly, this article seeks to move beyond equating high-status goods with high-status people by discussing how particular events, bodily abilities and human-animal relationships were all intertwined in the materialization of social distinction for a particular group.
A phallus is a penis, an object that resembles a penis, or a mimetic image of an erect penis. Any object that symbolically—or, more precisely, iconically—resembles a penis may also be referred to as a phallus; however, such objects are more often referred to as being phallic. en.wikipedia.org...

I read that the real Unicorn was a sort of goat, there are skeletal remains that exist of this creature...it is classified as a goat. Horses do not have horns. Maybe there was something that sort of looked like a horse that had a single horn, they did ride cows and donkeys in the past, but donkeys do not have horns either.
The real unicorn, Elasmotherium sibiricum, was shaggy and huge and looked just like a modern rhino, only it carried the most almighty horn on its forehead.
According to early descriptions, the Siberian unicorn stood at roughly 2 metres (6.6 feet) tall, was 4.5 metres (14.7 feet) long, and weighed about 4 tonnes.

They say that that creature went extinct long ago, but how do they know for sure it did? It could have lived on somewhere and just because there has been no evidence found that shows it did not live longer. it does not mean it does not exist even today. I think with the invention of guns, a lot of creatures went extinct.
But a beautifully preserved skull found in Kazakhstan in 2016 has completely overturned that assumption. Turns out, these incredible creatures were still around as recently as 29,000 years ago.
The skull, which was remarkably well-preserved, was found in the Pavlodar region of Kazakhstan. Researchers from Tomsk State University were able to date it to around 29,000 years ago via radiocarbon dating techniques

A.K.A. "The Johnson Horse".
Just one more example of the pathological confusion displayed by the SJW.
Against rapists, but pro-Muslim.
What??? OK, whatever.
