I donā€™t get it. What does my momā€™s sexuality have to do with me? Also, why is sleeping with someone thatā€™s ~25 years older something to brag about?

In my opinion the reason itā€™s supposedly insulting is rooted in misogyny. A woman is the property of her male relatives. When someone sleeps with her without the permission of these relatives, he uses their property without permission, demonstrating his power over them.

I do realise that many people use this insult because itā€™s just something you say. But I think itā€™s worth reflecting about what it actually is you are saying.

I think itā€™s more than that. For some people their mom is their hero for taking care of them and they have a special love for her. Now if someone sleeps with my mom just to brag, the insult is that they did it just to brag about it and I am supposed to be angry because I know it wasnā€™t genuinely someone who loves her.

I think thereā€™s also a power aspect. Your mom is your parent, someone with some power or status over you, so if someone sleeps with her theyā€™re now on the level of your parents, it implies that youā€™re no longer equal peers but a step-parent/child relationship

If this were the case then ā€œI fucked your dadā€ would be just as common an insult, with all the same connotations.

I feel like most people who would do this (males trying to seem ā€œalphaā€) probably wouldnā€™t be comfortable saying that, for whatever reason.

Instead of, ā€œi fucked your dad,ā€ we tend to say things like, ā€œyour dad is so hot!ā€ or suggest someones dad in a game of MFK. I would argue that itā€™s more cringey because ā€˜your mamaā€™ jokes are much more common than ā€˜your daddyā€™ jokes. Also, unrelated, there seems to be something that really irritates Latino men when you makes jokes about their sister.

yeah those get thrown around in my friend group sometimes too. I think ā€œi fucked your parentā€ jokes are usually made by straight dudes (which thereā€™s a lot to unpack there) though, so itā€™s more common for them to go for the gender theyā€™re attracted to. Not always tho

I think the person I responded to isnā€™t wrong, just that itā€™s not the whole picture. I was/am trying to ā€œyes, andā€ their comment

The other misogynistic element is the Madonna/Whore complex, in my opinion.

Mothers are often classically viewed as the Madonna (itā€™s in the name), so theyā€™re good and kind and virtuous.

However, Iā€™ve insinuated that I fucked your mom, and if your mom has fucked, that means sheā€™s a Whore because a Good Womantm doesnā€™t have a sexuality. By claiming that Iā€™ve fucked your mom, Iā€™m claiming to have defiled the sacred Madonna and turned her into a profane Whore.

In other words, saying ā€œI fucked your momā€ is basically saying ā€œyour momā€™s a slutā€, and in a worldview where women wanting to fuck is a sign of evil, thatā€™s an insult.

My mom was like that. šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚

The publicly available children maintenance service data (UK) suggests that one in three people are calling the wrong person dad (about a third of challenged women claiming child maintenance from a random dude will be shown to be wrong by DNA).

Mum will try to deny it. Then DNA became a thing for pennies. Join an genealogy fb group and support the broken kids looking for their now-dead fathers.

Thatā€¦ seems to be a bit of a leap. Youā€™ve got to assume that challenged women are representative of the whole population. To issue a challenge you probably have some reason to suspect.

One in three is not one-in-ten one might expect. And itā€™s not hundreds itā€™s thousands of women making false claims for money against male victims.

We donā€™t have population (in the statistical sense) data to know for sure. Maybe the passport biometric data will eventually let us know for sure.

However, there are other individuals involved, usually in the act of conception, not just women.

ā€œIā€™m on the pill/implant/coil ā€¦ you donā€™t have to wear a condom. Take the condom off.ā€. A female paedophile teacher has just been jailed here because the baby made it kind-of obvious she was lying. Apparently she got pregnant whilst she was on bail with the same child.
