The '''momad syndrome''' is a blend of the words "mom" and "dad" and is a theory describing the consequences and outcomes of a single mom raising a son. A single mom is a [[Femoid|woman]] who raises children by herself and as such, ends up playing a paternal role as well. However, unless a woman has a combination of a depth-oriented high-IQ, an ability to overcome her [[female solipsism|solipsism]], and regularly intermingled with several older as well as younger socially transparent male siblings, the woman won't really have the faintest clue how to raise a male. | The '''momad syndrome''' is a blend of the words "mom" and "dad" and is a theory describing the consequences and outcomes of a single mom raising a son.

==Matriarchism== | |||
The presumed basis for the inclination for acceptance of ''momad'' household norms is society's belief that women are naturally wired to kindle | |||
their maternal instinct and thus should have priority in childcare rights etc. However in practise, the cultivation of momad norms results in matriarchist principles being normalized, which wouldn't be harmful to daughters under her care, but can be harmful to males under her care, especially if there are no other mitigating factors within this household such as father figure he regularly meets up with. However, even if such a father figure is extant, he will be useless if he himself buys into momad theory. Such a father figure would also be useless if he doesn't recognize the role he plays in said male's life, and thereby might contribute to the infantilization of such a teenage male. | |||
Although modern western society isn't a full-on gerontocracy, there are many unnecessary gerontocratic traits within society that merits a person based on their age rather than their qualities. For example there's a age-threshold for running for office, and various other age-thresholds are increasingly normalized. Although these laws may not in and of themselves have earth-shatteringly negative consequences for society, the precedence this sets, and the inevitable conventionalisms it subsequently begets might entrench otherwise ambivalent social stances such as adultcentrism, helicopter parenting and adultism. In a society which respects both the physiological differences between males and females as well as innate psychological differences, a boy who is raised in a single mother household is more likely to be in god stead. However, in a society which accepts gerontocratic as well as ''momad'' traits, natural defenses against intrusiveness or attempts by a woman to intersperse or vicariously live her life through her son may be ineffective. | |||
