inter-Electra complex

The desire of a wife to seduce her father-in-law. This brings her into conflict not with the son but with her mother-in-law.

The basis of conflict BETWEEN women.
The inter-electra complex implies that feminism cannot claim to uproot patriarchy because patriarchy is the only artifact one woman has to differentiate herself from another woman.
