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

156. I am 57 years old. I still say Mama and Daddy.

That's what they are to me. What they've always been. What else should I call them? Father? Mother? George and Linda? Mr. or Mrs. Jones? (Not their real names.)

I am a liberated, liberal, feminist white female from the South. While I recognize that patriarchy is the scourge of humanity, I don't see why my calling him Daddy means anything at all to anyone but me.

My seventy-something mother still talks about her Mama and Daddy, both sadly passed on. So does my father, in his mid-eighties, also of his diseased parents. I call them Granny and Grandpa on my mother's side, and Grandma {Last name} and Grandpa {Last Name}, because he died before I was born, and I wasn't that close to her, for my father's parents.

Lawsy, talk about first world problems.
