The Sin of the Father: Reflections on the Roles of the Corporation Man, the Suburban Housewife, Their Son, and Their Daughter in the Deconstruction of the Patriarch
追溯后现代主义贬低父权的根源至战后中产阶级家庭，分析母亲对父亲的指责如何导致儿子无法形成超我、女儿将对抗提升为社会纲领。
The roots of the postmodernist denigration of the patriarch are traced to the postwar middle class family. The premise of this family was that the father would work and make possible a sphere of family life in which maternal influences, based on a primordial image of the mother, could operate without constraint. But identification with the primordial mother was psychologically insupportable for the mother, who blamed the father and enlisted the son in her antagonism. This deprived the son of the possibility of forming a superego and resulted in his aliention. The daughter raised the antagonism to the level of social program and carried it forward.
