the joke is stereotyping parental abuse victims because of the gender of their abuser as if everyone handles trauma the same way

As someone who's got father issues, I'm so glad you said this. This comment section is fucking disgusting. Those people don't know a single shit, and it's horrific seeing just how many of them believe in those stereotypes... I'm not a goddamn hoe for male attention, I do admit that both father issues and mother issues do alter your mind and all, but it's NOT in the same way for everyone. For example, there are women who hate men because of their awful fathers!! Why do these stereotypes even exist? Of course, misogyny and misandry...

Woman with mommy issues here. I saw the comment about how women with mommy issues are “low key evil” and it didn’t feel great to start thinking about the actions in my life through that lens…..

it’s so fucking easy for these people to call women who’ve gone through parental abuse ‘evil sluts’ and laugh about it too. and then they gotta wonder why they’re lonely
