==Feminist objections to penis envy theory behind Electra complex==
Some feminists generally [[regard]] this theory as [[sexist]]. The assertion that [[women]] suffer from penis-[[envy]] is generally attributed to the [[Victorian period|Victorian]] assertion that male [[sex organ]]s are somehow better than those of females. [[Others]] believe that, due to the extensive privilege of the males compared to females, at the [[time]] it was [[true]]: women wanted these rights, and after the success of the women's rights movement, this [[Penis Envy|penis envy ]] was reduced.
Continuing on this line of [[thought]], while penis envy has been reduced, it has not been wholly eliminated, as many cultures are still perceived to be heavily male-dominated in certain aspects of [[society]] (as [[Income_disparity#Gender_gap|salaries will tell]]). The psychosocial ramifications still have the potential to produce the complex. Even if society as a [[whole]] gravitates more to equality, the [[individual]] homes in which children are raised would have a very strong influence, perhaps more than the rest of society depending on how much a [[child]] is exposed to it. If a child is raised in a very sexist immediate family, neighborhood, or [[culture]] (less likely in [[schools]], [[being]] an accountable [[government]] institution), the influence of sexist values could still [[affect]] [[them]].
