They have to attack Mother and remove Father, because before you can get to her you have to get through him

Umm. Some husbands/mates/partners... chosing not to protect or worse posing the biggest danger to the mother and children have been a reality since the beginning of time. Having the religious, civil powers of the day enforcing a power structure that strives to enforce an illusion that everybody will be doing the right, moral thing only strips the mothers of the ability to protect herself and her children from who ever is the threat.

My Mother is the most wonderful and precious person in my life, and I will NEVER concede to calling her a "birthing person".
(Even though I did, back in my teen years joking refer to my parents as "Parental Units".)
I am absolutely appaled at the current push to remove tranditional language to appease such a vocal minority.

I'll add one. At one of my jobs, I worked over the summer with a kid whose mother regularly locked he and his siblings in a basement without food and burned he and his twin horribly in a bathtub with scalding water. His twin did not survive.

Titles like King and Queen have NOTHING on Mom.
Ditto for a Dad.

Like I said: monsters are human, not male or female. We tend to forget that all too easily.
