The Oedipus complex is a child development construct developed by Sigmond Freud that asserts that all children experience sexual desire towards their opposite sex parent, and failure to accept this “truth” can lead to mental health issues. Freud also asserted that children are not harmed by acts of sexual violence. In contrast, the #MeToo movement is a global incentive aimed at creating an awareness of the harm that sexual violence can cause. In many regards, #MeToo is a reaction against a systemic failure to prevent sexual violence from occurring in the first place. By contrasting Freudian ideas with #MeToo, I argue that the enduring popularity of Freud and his psychoanalytic ideas is a negative influence on culture. In the light of contemporary research from cognitive psychology, psychosocial considerations, child development, and trauma-informed practices, Freudian ideas can be proven to be fallible. Moreover, dispelling misleading assumptions about sexual desires is a beneficial endeavour towards reducing the likelihood of future sexual violence. Additionally, I explore Freudian interpretations of mythology and propose that he misappropriated ancient belief systems.

MeToo时代的弗洛伊德的恋母情结：从当代研究的角度分析精神分析的有效性

俄狄浦斯情结是由西格蒙德·弗洛伊德（Sigmond Freud）开发的儿童发展结构，该结构断言所有儿童都对异性父母有性欲，而不接受这种“真相”会导致心理健康问题。弗洛伊德还声称，儿童没有受到性暴力的伤害。相比之下，＃MeToo运动是一种全球性激励措施，旨在让人们意识到性暴力可能造成的危害。在许多方面，＃MeToo是针对系统性故障的反应，该系统性故障最初是为了防止发生性暴力。通过将弗洛伊德思想与#MeToo进行对比，我认为弗洛伊德及其精神分析思想的持久流行对文化产生了负面影响。根据来自认知心理学，社会心理考虑因素，儿童成长的当代研究，以及针对创伤的实践，弗洛伊德思想可以被证明是错误的。而且，消除关于性欲的误导性假设是减少未来性暴力可能性的有益努力。此外，我探索了弗洛伊德对神话的解释，并提出他挪用了古代的信仰体系。
