    Yes daddy isn’t always meant to be sexual. It’s something they literally said themselves, like "Daddy’s home!” and “Daddy Don!” at a rally. See https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/24/tucker-carlson-trump-rally-spanking

    In this case we mean it more like childlike belief that your “daddy” is always right and a big strong hero who can’t lose. Usually people grow out of it, but a lot of the right don’t seemed to have matured in this way. People like Alex Jones also associates the “daddy” as his rightful place as a ruler of a household, and has gone into rants during the pandemic because some vaccine commercial dared to suggest the children might understand something better than “daddy” and may teach “daddy” something.

    Atheists use the term in a similar way when they say “sky daddy.” Do you also think that just means a sexual submission kink?

      Incredible how many men online I meet who confidently explain shit to me they don’t know about. Even if what you’re saying is correct, which would be irrelevant as that is not how it’s interpreted in the comments, could you explain why you think that patriarchy is seperate from your construction of children’s deference to their father? You fucking people man, seriously.

        ? I have no clue what gender you are, and it doesn’t really matter with my point? I just showed proof that the people being mocked are using the daddy thing themselves, and my Alex Jones example is a prime example of toxic patriarchy, so I’m not sure why you would think I would say it’s separate. Tucker is also a toxic misogynist, and I’m sure some of his jests were a combination of the sexual meaning too. I just said not everyone who uses yes daddy as an insult is doing it in a sexual manner.

          Wow, you seriously didn’t get it and then wrote a smug paragraph about how you do get it and then say that you didn’t get it. I dont care if you’re pissed that this is wrong, it is and you dummies are going to admit it in five years when you see the results of this. Fuckin hell dude.
