Momad syndrome: Difference between revisions

Since the term ''momad'' is a blend of ''mom'' and ''dad'', technically it is a gender neutral term, and as such, the roles could be reversed whereby a male parent plays the role of an overbearing parent with a disregard or ignorance pertaining to gender roles expected to be meted out by him.

There are some African cultures which have a nuanced approach, as is evidenced by the popular African proverb "It takes a village to raise a child". On the other hand, in the west, this is not the case. As such, one feature of Momad Syndrome, is that with a woman is the sole head of the household, it is inevitable that she will have absolutist levels of influence within this household and thereby it is likely that feminine traits will be dominant, such as a preference for a higher household temperature, or notions such as [[bluepill|conformity]]. There are several studies that show that men and women have different comfort levels with regards to temperature, with males being more comfortable with lower temperatures.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/science/shortcuts/2017/oct/11/why-women-sewcretly-turn-up-the-heating</ref> If the son had the benefaction of a male parent at home, it would be more likely for a compromise to occur pertaining the contrasting body temperatures of the males and females within the household. Many households have a central heating system which typically permeates the rest of the household, even if individual heaters within other rooms are turned off. Subsequently, such a higher temperature may inhibit the viability of studying or concentrating on other vocational acts for the males in the household. Even if the gender of offspring is even split in terms of numbers, the mother typically has the last say. Although the byproducts of physiological difference between the sexes are easier to allocate, there are also more abstract contrasts between the sexes which may also summon Momad Syndrome idiosyncrasies within a household.
