Oh, I expect that he has a much more interesting relationship with "mother". It's probably not healthy or acknowledged. It's probably got a fucked up power dynamic.You said I was making stuff up. I wasn’t.I was referring specifically to @Jarhyn 's post. I quoted it.I’m not making anything g up but I did presume everyone knew that Pence referred to his wife as Mother. My apologies for any confusion.
I wasn't talking about the Trump Administration's response to C19 or anything else.
Referring to the mother of your children as Mother is a bit quaint. But frankly, I'd like to see good mothers get more appreciation.
Feminist misogynistic people seem to think that's a problem.

Within families it is common to refer to parents of people present as Mom or Dad, or Grandma and Grandpa (with grandchildren present). It’s way less common for people to refer to their spouses in general public as Mother or Father much less in a professional setting.
There’s a line between honoring the mother or father of your children and relegating them to existing only as the parent of your children.
Recognizing that women exist as other than mothers and mother figures is not misogyny. I think even Amy Coney Barrett would agree.
But I just don't want to have that kind of fetish behavior in the open outside of Pride month, and especially not from someone who treats gays like unpersons not deserving of a real public health response.
It's a different matter when you're in a gay bar, or even acknowledge that gay bars are ok places to be, and when you are Mike fucking Pence.
@TomC: Would you, Tom, like it if I started calling my husband "daddy"? I don't think it would make you very comfortable.
When fantasies dip into the sexual or into themes that minors could very well misconstrue, that kind of shit needs to stay in 18+ rated situations, and we'll away from
OMG
You think Pence is the twisted one?
Oh well. You're very woke. I doubt anyone will notice.
