Momma’s boy

Momma's boy

I have seen the most progressive feminists turn into men's rights activists once they become mothers to sons.

These women will protect their sons at all costs whether that be a r@pe allegation, domestic abuse allegations, murder allegation, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, and so on. We've all seen in court how she relentlessly victimizes her son and villainizes the poor woman that was tragically abused/r*ped by her son even when there is evidence that he did it. Some moms of sons will even defend their son going to strip clubs because he has sexual needs and berate their DIL's for not trying new things in the bedroom. It's as if once women give birth to male offspring all the internalized misogyny jumps out.

I am beginning to think there is a reason why so many women and girls grow up with internalized misogyny - society and maternal figures play a huge role in that particular area. Mother makes her daughter clean, cook, and prepare the table along side her, while the son(s) get to play outside like normal children. Wouldn't be too surprised if that's why so many young men expect their female partner to do domestic tasks such as doing their laundry, cooking, and cleaning. There are communities like 'No mother-in-law' where these women treat their daughter-in-laws like trash.

I once saw a post on relationship advice where the MIL went into the hospital uninvited while her DIL was giving birth and security had to take her out. They treat their DIL's horribly but once she becomes pregnant they want to bond in hopes that she will have the ability to visit their grandchild. Almost as if daughter in laws only matter if they are pregnant. Where is the same energy with these women's daughters? Why aren't son-in-laws treated the same way daughter-in-laws are treated?

Often times the pick-me mother will defend her son-in-law but not her own daughter for instance the MIL will want their daughter to stay with her husband because he's rich even though he's verbally abusive to her.
