MFW they invent an Elektra complex to make it gender equal

She didn't 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.

That’s sort of the point of the metaphor I thinkβ€”Oedipus was driven to do it by fate even though the conscious awareness of it horrified him.
