Freud and Psychoanalysis

Sublimination. It’s similar to repression, in the sense that they both work together. Repression is when things like desires that cannot be fulfilled and traumatic events are stored in the unconscious. These repressed ideas are no longer living in the conscious, therefore, the individual is not consciously aware of them. The process of sublimination takes the repressed information and expresses it in the form of something productive. For instance, one must subliminate their sexual desires and turn that energy into something like getting work done, exercising, etc. If individuals are constantly fulfilling those desires, nothing would get done. That is why the ego is necessary to balance the reality of what can and cannot be fulfilled and when it is appropriate.

I understand the Oedipus complex, but what I don't understand is why Freud didn't give the view of the female infant. Is this complex something ONLY the male infant experiences according to Freud? How is the female infant developing at the same time as her male counterpart? Freud claims that the male infant desires to eliminate the father so that he himself can have power. Does this mean that the female infant reacts in opposition to the Oedipus complex and instead wishes to eliminate the mother to replace her? I feel like Freud's ideas are geared towards masculinity (only). I think it could possibly be related to the time period he completed his studies in, although, I'm not entirely sure.
