THE MOTHERFUCKER PROBLEM

For thousands of years women have grimly tolerated the patriarchy’s verbal abuse. The concept of motherfucker emerged early on in all languages, except for Yiddish (although, “I’ll fuck your mother!” is a common greeting). In the beginning “motherfucker” was the ultimate insult, implying incest and an unsettling disregard for one’s mother. Over the centuries “motherfucker” took on an almost mystical weight for some, the same as if crying out to god. War mongering men quickly accepted the slight as a mission statement during post pillage humiliations of their enemies. It long endured as the final slur if said in the right way. However, in modern times motherfucker has entered the daily lexicon as everything from an endearment to an all-purpose descriptive noun like “dude”, and in some circles motherfucker means “I love you.” It has degraded as an insult to the point where it must be replaced. Mothers themselves have lately taken to looking askance at the practice. The patriarch dudes should have seen this coming. In light of recent social shifts, “Fatherfucker” is the only logical replacement for the old paradigm’s glib talk of fucking mothers. It’s time for fathers to step up and take it like mothers have for centuries. Also, shout out, “Fatherfucker!” in an argument and it will disturb people, so it succeeds admirably as an insult. It will be a long time before the population is desensitized to being accused of dad sex. No one will use fatherfucker lightly. One ironic glitch: A high percentage of the worlds’ actual fatherfuckers are mothers. We’ll leave them out of this; they can do what they want.
