Zizek thinks masochism obfuscates a longing for discipline at the hands of the dominatrix. Here Zizek plays double double - his private phantasy eliminating a terrible symbolic father is in fact reinforced by a “need” for the “pacifying” real father, who seems to have some maternal qualities. On the other hand, the fantasy of an infantile reunion with the mother that subtends the formulation of parent-as-pacifier seems to be accompanied by a need for a chastising real mother (the dominatrix). This seems to mask, render, & reconfigure the terrifying Symbolic Father as Phallic Mother, and the Nurturing Mother as Mr. Mom, in order to avoid the confrontation (at the Oedipal interaction or website) with the other as Other. “ — Aline Flieger, Is Oedipus Online, p63
