Bonus Reading: Feminism + Oedipus
In the episode, I mentioned how the Oedipus Complex applied to women but didn’t have time to talk more about the intricacies other than “it was pretty sexist.” Which is true. but if you want to learn more, here is an article about it! - [x]
I also found a very interesting analysis of the Oedipus myth in which a scholar, Erich Fromm, proposes Oedipus as a symbol for old matriarchal societies. Definitely worth a read if you’re interested. - [x]
