First let me give my definition of the Madonna/Whore Complex. I use the more mainstream definition, rather than Freud’s spin on it. Why? Because Freud was a behaviorist who proported psychic determinism and allow us to blame other people both past and present for our current decisions. Personally I favor Viktor Frankel’s theory of self-determinism, which basically says that YOU control your own destiny, even if your parents didn’t do the best job raising you.
So, my definition of the Madonna/Whore Complex:
Men classify all women into one of only two categories: either evil sexual temptress, or good and pure saint; a woman has to be one or the other.
