Columbia Sorority Sister's Electra Complex: “I’m in Love with my Father."

Brock Colyar posted on New York magazine's The Cut "I Go To an Actual Frat Party". In the piece, Colyar met: "[...] two darkly funny sorority sisters: “Hillary,” a Barnard junior, and “Brooke,” a Columbia senior, both international students [...]"

We weren't (completely) shocked by Brooke's admission of her attraction to her father. Besides, we wrote an entire chapter on the Daddy Thing in Teens Love and Want to F*ck James Franco: A Study of a Life and Works.

We wrote about Netflix's Insatiable where 17-year-old Patty attempted to seduce Bob - her beauty pageant coach and asked Bob, "Can I call you daddy?"

And we wrote about Nancy Friday's My Secret Garden: Women’s Sexual Fantasies where Bella shared that since she was 8-years-old, her father has always been her "fantasy lover during masturbation".
