Freud's theory, particularly his ideas on the Oedipus complex, suggests that boys repress erotic feelings for their mothers as part of their psychosexual development, which is not listed as one of the major objections to his theory. The objections typically challenge Freud's views on gender and sexuality from various perspectives, but the repression of erotic feelings towards the mother is a component of his theory, not a critique against it.
