    Traditional gender roles and expectations. A mommy not only feeds you, but cleans you when you shit yourself, and tends to do a lot more generally exhausting emotional and physical labor, which can be kinda unsexy. In contrasts dads tend to be involved more once the kid is a little more grown and do things more related to play, learning and stereotypically discipline.

    In addition to this, there is also just the thing of so many men not being brought up in a way to be functional adults, and women are expected to do a lot of common care work, so often this involves all the worst parts of being a mom, such as cleaning, cooking and other service oriented things, rather than the part that inovlves authority. Dirty dishes and socks with holes in them and someone that doesnt know how to do the laundry are also rather unsexy.

    Now, mistress, or domina sounds so much better and "Comrade comissar, Ive been a liberal" is just instant sploosh :comfy-cool:
