MFW they invent an Elektra complex to make it gender equal
She didnât even do that! She was trying to avenge her father! Why not name it after one of those girls from the old testament that drugged and raped their dad to get prego? Sounds a lot more like what a woman with a dangerous sexual fixation would do too.

Thatâs what I never understood. Oedipus only fucked his mum because he didnât know who she really was. So, technically a motherfucker but it makes absolutely no sense as a psychology template (in my laymanâs eyes st least).

Thatâs sort of the point of the metaphor I thinkâOedipus was driven to do it by fate even though the conscious awareness of it horrified him.
