minor, 3 spelling corrections (assgns, identifcation, dissymetry)
===Dyammetry between Men and Woman===
It is this fundamental dissymetry dissymmetry in the [[signifier]] which leads to the dissymmetry between the [[Oedipus complex]] in men and women.
Whereas the [[male]] [[subject]] [[desire]]s the parent of the other sex and [[identifies]] with the parent of the same sex, the [[female]] [[subject]] [[desire]]s the parent of the same sex and "is required to take the image of the other sex as the basis of its identification."<ref>{{S3}} p.176</ref>
<blockquote>"For a woman the realization of her sex is not accomplished in the Oedipus complex in a way symmetrical to that of the man's, not by identification with the mother, but on the contrary by identifcation identification with the paternal object, which assgns assigns her an extra detour."<ref>{{S3}} p.172</ref></blockquote>
<blockquote>"This signifying dissymmetry determines the paths down which the Oedipus complex will pass. The two paths make them both pass down the same trail - the trail of castration."<ref>{{S3}} p.176</ref></blockquote>
