Is grown women calling their fathers "Daddy" a sign of unconscious submission to patriarchy?
I've heard grown women talk like this before, most recently on DU.

I'm a guy and I know it's none of my business but I always feel bad for the women I hear talk like that as if they aren't even joking but they say it as if it's just a fact.

Does not such language seem to implicitly accept the narrative that oneself is a child?

 :stupidpeople:

Even the DUmp thinks it is a moron.

2. The only adult people I can recall doing that were men, from the south, referring to their "daddy"

It may be a regional appellation . I have no doubt that women use it as well.

i hear mother's referred to as "mama"/ "momma" as often.

9. I can understand "Dad"

But "Daddy" sounds like a little too much deference, imo.

I don't doubt that both genders can do it. I wonder if it is a sign of the level of control a male parent has on their child.

Older white men in the south, statistically, do tend to be conservatives and their sons seem to follow too obediently in that tradition.

6. No.

Is there an approved list of words to call your father that do not indicate unconscious submission to patriarchy?

Maybe it's time people grew up psychologically and stopped allowing the older generation to project infantilism upon them through speech.

The OPer imagined the "answer" to his "question" would be win-win - either DU feminazis would go to town about "Patriarchy", or it would be shown to be a southern-ism and/or middle-America-ism that would then be fodder for further DU mockery of normal people. He didn't have the minimal intelligence to anticipate that some DU-folk might point out the breathless silliness of his "question", and, consequently, got shanked.

Of course, the answer to his "question" comes from something the OPer evidently can't imagine: the adult women who call their fathers "Daddy" love and respect their Dad. I know, deep and profound ...

if the term daddy bothers you so much, then feel free to refer to your daddy as "sperm donor", or "the man who raped your momma".  Either phrase should be more acceptable to you and put your little mind at ease.

81. i think calling parents mommy & daddy when over 12 years old is freaking weird.

for men and women.

mom or dad sure but adding the y is infantile sounding to me. i come in contact with adults that say mommy and daddy in reference to their parents or a regular basis and the majority if them are what i would call overly dependent and failed adults.

just my observation though. obviously i am wrong and mean and just nasty.

That is rich, a primitive calling someone overly dependent or a failed adult.

I called my Mon and Dad "Mom" and "Dad" longer than I can remember, literally. Why not "Mommy" and "Daddy" I don't now, but I think it may have been the cultural norm where I grew up. Different regions of the US have different sub-cultures. It takes great arrogance and immaturity to attribute immaturity to a minor sub-cultural difference ... not that that is surprising on DU. The cultural chauvinism I've seen displayed by/among DUers continues to amaze me.

Spot on! I didn't grow up saying "Daddy", so hearing that is unfamiliar to my ears. OTOH, to some one who does say that my saying "Dad" might sound cold and distant. Big whoop! How is it that DU-folk claim to be so-o-o-ooo tolerant of other cultures, yet have a thread about this? Geesh!

My take is it depends where you hail from and that may determine how you address your parents.  My children call me dad and to this day I still refer to my mother as mom although she passed away.

Most of it is.  Growing up in Chicago, and to this day, it was always just "Dad" and "Mom".  Now that I am a Southerner, of sorts  :-) , I have heard "Daddy" quite often.  All that being said, what in the f*** is wrong with these people?
