Is grown women calling their fathers "Daddy" a sign of unconscious submission to patriarchy?

65. Wait, is this just like the "Tr*pical" thread that was posted yesterday?

That one was hilarious. But you need to work on the subtle cues that signal sarcasm, if you want to eschew the sarcasm tag.

In the off chance that you really are serious - you do realize that in typical families that have reasonably healthy relationships, the parents do exercise some level of control over their kids' actions throughout life? Through emotional influence, not explicit "you will not do x" type of orders, of course. So why the hell wouldn't the kids continue to use whatever term they grew up with to address their parents?

"Daddy" sounds weird to me, but I can't remember ever calling my father anything but "Dad", and I would refer to him as "Dad", "my dad", or "my father" when talking to others. So why wouldn't someone who grew up using "daddy" use it in the same way as I do "dad"? It's a cultural thing. And even if there is some sinister element there in some cases, does this really come any where near the top of the list of things that are fucking up the world today?

It's like you're worried about a fly landing on your child laying in the crib, when your house is on fire.
