catchonfirespontaneously replied to your post: I still find Freud so confusing
OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU THIS IS HILARIOUS XD XD AND SO RIGHT. I did Freud’s theory in Health and Social Care and all of us were like, WHAT IS THIS FUCKERY? You’re brilliant, just saying :)
it is bewildering though i simply don't understand how it manages to hold its own as a theory on account of the fact IT IS RIDICULOUS
like i'm really happy you had a penis and you liked it and you wanted your mum to like it too freud but calm down not everything anybody ever encounters is a metaphor for how much they love penises
also, as i was reading another essay on psychoanalysis, i encountered this jem about women: 'she firstly symbolises the castration threat by her real lack of penis and secondly thereby raises her child into the symbolic'
LIKE WHAT TEH FUCKING AWHRHJ
FIRSTLY: 'her real lack of penis' AS OPPOSED TO WHAT?!?! HER FAKE LACK OF PENIS WHAT ARE YOU ENVEN SYAING
SECONDLY: DID YOU REALLY JUST IMPLY THAT WOMEN WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN SO THEY CAN RAISE THEM INTO SYMBOLIC PENISES?!?!??!?!
WHAWBTHETA WHAT THE FECK AM I RAEDINGG
