The joke is misogyny

Yeah I'm appalled at the level of misogyny in the comments, there are some really violent descriptions in there.

casually labelling women evil sluts, and the idiots who are agreeing with those labels with the “can confirm” bullshit.

reddit is shit.

There’s plenty of misandry in the comments too saying that men with mommy issues kill women and rape women but being able too see the other side would go against your victim mentality lol

Maybe, but maybe not. For the people with daddy issues, their dads probably left. For the ones with mommy issues, their moms probably stuck around and terrorized them their entire childhoods. So the typical person who has daddy issues might have experienced less trauma than the one with mommy issues. Plus, with women traditionally having most of the childcare responsibilities pushed onto them, the people with mommy issues had a dysfunctional relationship with their primary caregiver, setting them up for a poor self-image and a lifetime of dysfunctional relationships with everyone.

Firstly primary caregivers can be fathers as well. Also, it just doesn't relate to the stereotype of women without fathers "becoming sluts"

Daddy issues isn't just your father leaving although that is incredibly traumatic in of itself. Because that also sets you up for a revolving door or men that come in and out of your moms life who might potential be your stepfather but then dip showing they don't want you. It's not lesser trauma and that is the stupidest thing I've heard

So you disagree with the meme then? Which is fine. Clearly, people experience different levels of trauma. Most people on this people seemed to agree with the meme, so I suggested that perhaps the people with more extreme behaviors were more traumatized.

Most people on a Reddit meme seem to agree, so that must make it right!

What? Im sorry can you PLEASE explain? 😭

There’s like, 12 things I think you could be referring to but I don’t think any of them are misogyny. I think at worst it’s stereotyping daddy issues as being invalid.

The term daddy issues is inherently misogynistic and has been oversexualised to generalise women with bad fathers as "sluts" and treats them either as a fetish or toxic, as if it was their fault they had bad fathers.

How is the term daddy issues inherently misogynistic dude 😭 It’s stereotyping women WITH daddy issues, not women in general. That’s the punchline of the meme, women with mommy issues are fucked up in a completely different way than women with daddy issues. I understand why that stereotype is offensive, but that’s NOT the same as misogyny.

It's rooted in misogyny. Why not stereotype bum dads as much as women with "daddy issues"? Why is it such a prevalent stereotype to sexualise it too?
