Are male (humans) designed to reject their Fathers?

[Jon Miller]

I have noticed many who fight. And than later, down the road, they are freinds again.

Others are never freinds again, and that seems a result of one or the other not forgiving, or having burnt the bridges, or something similiar.

How does that work? And wasn't this guy just a batsh** anti-semite, anyway?

Freud was born to Jewish parents from Moravia. While an avowed atheist, and no friend to the Jewish religion, he was not ashamed of his origin, and joined the Vienna Bnai Brith lodge.

I'm not sure that is the case. But with men, there is this competition thing with their fathers. You always want to do better than your father. And I never want to turn out like my father. But it is difficult to avoid that sometimes.

I think both are true. Fathers seem to shy from displaying any sort of affection to their children after a certain age.

Also, adolescent males with their raging testosterone, tend to begin vying for dominance with their fathers. And that means being defiant, etc.

It explains your desire to kill your father and have sex with your mother.

That's a disorder. The natural tendency for almost everyone is this:

You turn into your same-sex parent and seek out your opposite sex parent as a mate. The two most influential examples of males and females are your father and mother. Even if one is absent during the child's life.

You're the oldest son. It's up to you to fight and kill of the old man. Your little***** brother will be no help.

I didn't say "according to Frued". :P

A 13 year old will turn his nose up at Scobby Doo.

Only if it was one of those newer episodes with Scrappy.

Yep, some people have a very pronounced tendency to want to kill their father (or mother's boyfriend/partner) - because they resent the fact that the man has laid claim to their mother.

Ummmmm how the hell did you find out about this very pronounced tendency?

What constitutes a very pronounced tendency?

What do you mean by some people?

i hated my dad from about 13 to 20. but now we get along great.

it might coincide with the fact that i moved out of the house when i was 19, and he stopped telling me what to do and i started listening to what he had to say.

Everyone has these tendencies.

The difference between a neurotic and a normal person is that in the case of the former, these complexes remain very vivid and interfere with normal life.

Or should I say, 'normal' life.

[Flip McWho]

Well I definitely don't think it really applies to me, or maybe I'm incredibly 'normal'.


I suppose, a tendency like this, is very much dependant on the perspective.

[Spiffor]

I have never noticed these tendencies in my case.
