Creepy New Study Suggests That Men Are Just Hoping to Marry a Mother Clone
LatestThanks to biological anthropologist Helen Fisher, author of the lurid sex book Why Him? Why Her? How to Find and Keep Lasting Love, the Oedipal complex has received a much-needed 21st-century update. It’s not that all men want to kill their fathers so they can marry their mothers — what they really want to do is find a suitable proxy for their mothers and marry that unwitting lady so as to keep mother close forever and ever. It’s way less creepy the way Fisher explains it, but CBS This Morning anthropomorphized seat cushion Anthony Mason does his level best to paint Fisher’s segment (creepily titled “All in the Family” to really emphasize the incest angle) in the most lurid brushstrokes possible by posing the titillating question, “Should [men] date their mothers?” I don’t know, Anthony, does the V.C. Andrews estate have a new book out that I’m not yet aware of?
