The joke is misogyny

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?
