Yeah it is weird how insults like that tend to be mirrored across genders. (I know that is not the point but also I can think for two seconds before nodding along to cringe.) Why is it a problem if a guy has mommy issues but not daddy issues? IME the opposite is more damaging.

It’s weird how “daddy issues” became an insult to women when it’s men who fail as fathers.

Lacking a healthy model for your own gender presentation is a lot more damaging and disorienting, IME. Causes confusion over really basic social expectations on a much grander scale than the opposite, which seems to cause issues mostly in heterosexual love lives.

It's probably dumb of me to get baited by a loaded question, but I feel like being at a cultural point where loaded questions about men are just an accepted norm is even dumber. Gendered problems are shite, and much of that is on men as a group, but bad faith is bad faith.

I think that's harder to see at a glance, tho If you had a bad opposite-gender-parental-figure, you're going to have a lot/intense relationships with the other gender that mimic parent/child dynamics if you had a bad same-gendered-parental-figure, you're just generally a mess
