Patriarchal (sexist) society oppresses women: Women sexuality is marginalized

AbstractThe Oedipus Gordian is a appoint coined from the nonorious Kind Oedipus, a classic legend, who kills his return so that he tin marry his m otherwise. The term denotes the notions and emotions that the mind keeps in the unconscious stipulate, through with(predicate) the dynamic repression that concentrates on the desire of a electric s spend a pennyr to sexu eachy puddle got the p bent. This paper describes the Oedipus complex in detail and discusses how the beliefs influence women by discussing how the sexist society oppresses women. A summative paragraph is then provided to offer an over get word of the discussions. portalThe Oedipus complex gets its name from notorious Kind Oedipus, a Greek legend, who terminates the sprightliness of his father so that he can marry his grow. This is an act of incestuous ferocity that is predicted that he would commit by an oracle early in his life. Frightened, he tries to use everything at his disposal to run away from his desti ny, simply he unavoid fitting fails and consequently tears his eyes out, and then blinds himself the surly actions he had committed. Freud adopts the Kind Oedipus Greek Legend to illustrate the perverse stay put that children of arctic sex and their p arnts take part. Fortifying the early childrens developmental years, positivist passage through the period can be determined by whether the risk of castration encourages or enhances the formation of the moral sense of a child and hence entrance into the consequent period of latency. All these stages of development check varying and inexplicable effects on the psychological development of a person. A critical point of view consists notwithstanding in perceiving the Oedipus interwoven as the focal point or hinge of humanization, as a change or development from the natural life register to a cultural one of group exchange and thus of legislations, harmoniumizations and symbols. However, Freud brings about the chaff that due to t he omit of member, the risk of castration does not hurt a schoolboyish girl to the same level as a antheral child and hence the formation of the conscience is frail ( develop, 2003).Influence on womenThere is no doubt that Freud is the most popular man-to-man in the history of psychology. The theories that he created gift influenced the field of psychology and are solace influential until now at present. Despite his several influential and grave contributions to the field of psychology, his theories have faced several criticisms. One of the major criticisms is his views on women, or, more accurately, the huge gap in his theories about women (Gregory, 2005, p.68). In Freuds early theories, he extended his beliefs of male sex activity to the women, regarding women as just men who privation penises. His male view of sexuality is comprehensible, even though problematic, since it marginalizes female sexuality. correspond to the theory, female sexuality is exactly the same as the male sexuality until they reach the phallic phase of psychological development, as the women do not have penis. However, they experience the envy of penis, which is the possessiveness that young girls smack towards their male counterparts and the hatred towards their mystifys, to whom they lay their blame for lack of penis (Gregory, 2005, p.74). Although he did not suggest the Electra complex, it is possible to infer it from his theories that young girls shift their attractions to their fathers from their mothers in trying to obligate a penis. Since they are female, they are not in a position of identifying with their father, and then they come to the realization that gaining a penis is an impossibility, they decide to have children. Freud, just as the early sexologists regarded women as sexually passive, where they only have sex for the purposes of having children. Since they lack a penis, they come to brook that they lost theirs, and then have male children in trying to o btain a penis. In women, penis envy is an issue that Freud thought could never be resolved completely, hence condemning all of them to the underdeveloped conscience, sum that they result always be inferior to men morally (Gregory, 2005, p.76). According to Freud, men are able to have conscience that is fully developed. For an individual who has his theories focused on the subject of sex, he appeared satisfied to remain advisedly ignorant of the female sexuality and the way it might differ from that of the males. The views of Freud on female sexuality and women were plainly phallic-focuses, which made his research and exploration into the sexuality of females very limited. It is very interesting to note that despite the fact that he worked with is theories on the sexuality of females remained limited and focused on males. He was overly not left out by the general sexism of the period, stating that the sexual life, in men alone is accessible to investigation, while it is veiled i n the tight darkness, in the women, partly as a result of the cultural impede and on the traditional reticence and untruthfulness of womens account (Gregory, 2005, p.79). It appears troublesome to can the women together with their sexuality in such a manner not only because Freud manageed several women, but because his beliefs still exist today, and get over to influence sexologists and psychologists in the same way. Freud creates a paradigm in which the lack of a penis and the discovery of this fact plague a dwarfish girl in her youth, who views this absence as a weakness to the opposite sex. Freud, (3) explains that in trying to justify this absence, a little girl clarifies it by having an assumption that at one time she was having an equally large organ on her body, which she lost through castration. She goes further to claim that she will be able to acquire just as big organ as the one possessed by the boys when she grows older. She eventually adopts the mothers attributes and ends a strong desire and lust for her father, with the hope of having her own child ne day to compensate for lack of a large organ as the one that boys possess (Glen, 2010, p. 66). In addition, Freud argues that a little girl is spared the furious awakening, since it is not a social restrict for a girl to have a flirtatious yet slight harmful connection with the father. Similarly, beingness the fathers favorite girl can be a long lasting intercourseship, as it is not necessarily regarded as improper. overdue to the benevolent and kind nature of this experience, she is starved of the reconciliation with the social taboo and as a result renders the woman morally weaker as her conscience will never be as strong as that of a man (Anouchka, 2010, p.123). In cases where mutual idealization and insensible shame have played a significant role in a pairing relationship, if it ends, the couples usually appear to fight each other to find who will win or lose the battle. They usuall y enlist their childrens the true against each other. The one that will succeed in turning the children against the other will always proclaim victory over the spring partner. This is a heartbreaking case of the narcissistic requirements of that particular parent overriding their trouble for the wellbeing of the children that is the wish to revenge on the former partner forces them to present the fundamental needs of the children for a good and smooth relationship with both of them. This is a dynamic that usually damage the children, even though it can be particularly harmful when it is added to the dynamic of Oedipus complex this complex in such stances mostly influences women. For instance, here is a case that may be common to many individuals. It will be described in relation to the mothers who are divorced and their male children. In instances where the infidelity of the father caused the separation, the former wife might always have formal grounds or reasons to be angry, h owever, that would not be a justification to the type of tragical narcissistic behavior that is sometimes experienced (Glen, 2010, p. 67). The claim that Oedipus complex as it is perceived classically and applied in the practice of psychoanalysis comes from the situation of males both in the mythic expression and in its clinical extensions. However, it is a critical flow from the female experiences point of view. When the Oedipus complex is applied to females, male desire and rivalry mediate it, and then clumsily appended to the development of female. The phallocentrism that is most clearly expressed by the declaration by Freud that the young girl is a young man (p118) has left its traces all through the vocabulary of the theories of psychoanalysis of development and no other designate as evident as in the discussions about the female Oedipus complex. Expectations and perceptions are shaped by language that is, it organizes reasoning. When thinking about Oedipus, people think abo ut penis envy and castration, but not about vagina or pregnancy. When talking about the stage of phallic-Oedipal in the young girls, people abstract themselves from the critical development need of the young girls to identify with the mother. The female triadic condition does not have its individual name, but rather floats like an cryptic something that is not nothings signifier (Rosman, Paula, Rubel, and Maxine, 2009, p.152). If a father gives a loving affection to the daughter, the little girl will be able to grow up more smarter and successful. She will also be les nervous, less immoral and also less likely to be a drug user of drugs. From the girls early years, they expect their fathers to provide love, reassurance and admiration. The response of a father colossally influences the ability of the daughter to have positive relationships and go for other men. The level of self-esteem of a girl is influenced to a great deal by the relationship with her father. So, what happens when there are no fathersOr even they become too busy to have time for their daughtersBetween the ages of three and eight, the young girl naturally abandons their attachment to their mothers and turn to the father. This is comparable to the Oedipus complex, which is used in the description of the competition between a girl and a mother to have the affection and love of the father (Butler, 2014, p.35-90). It is part of a expression phase in the development of a girl. The changing of family configurations, where there are more relationship or marriage breakups than ever experienced before, has hampered natural development of a girl. About forty to fifty percent of origin marriages break up after a short period of stay, which leads to more single parents. Whether the Oedipus complex actually exists or not is a subject to debate among academicians, but what appears to be clear is that the attachment of the girl to her father or mother is determined by the situational or cultural fact ors. The timbre of attachments as such shapes the personality and results of the girl. Characteristically, the girl should have been given a clear directive by the father such as she should not order her father around or that she is supposed to shoe bounty to her mother and even love her (Lacan, 2012, p.97). Without having to force the situation too much, it is presumable that there would have been restoration of the order and the young girl could have known that the parents work together in a learning opening that includes boundaries and respect. Some men wrongly think that their wives are supposed to treat them just like their daughters, as perfect heroes. They please and obey their daughters so that they cannot lose their respect. Early experiences shape the lives of individuals. Denial, abandonment and rejection in the peoples childhood might force them into a long lasting seek for healing their wounds. However, deficiencies in parenting also make a big score. remainderFreu ds beliefs in the psychoanalysis are greatly biased towards women as it views women as sexually passive, who just engage in it to have children. His view in Oedipus complex greatly influences the development of females in the way they live, as when it is applied to females, male desire and rivalry mediate it, and then clumsily appended to their development. Even the young girl is not fair to her mother whom she blames for her lack of a penis, thus the hatred. The beliefs are centered on males where it is believed the development of a female to a responsible and respectable person is associated with the father, as that is where they draw their inspiration, and that is why a young girl tends to fight off her mother in order to take her position as the fathers favorite. The changing of family configurations, where there are more divorces than ever experienced before, has hampers linguistic rule development of a girl.ReferencesAnouchka G, 2010, No More Silly Love Songs.
