Wow, some 40 year old guy who saw me buying groceries at Target this afternoon called me a “MILF”.
This is not a joke. I was in line waiting to check-out and this guy in front me tells whoever he’s talking to on the phone, “you got to hit up Target during the day, so many hot MILFs, one is directly behind me”.
WTF creep!? I wanted to tell him off, but again, I think he was paying me a compliment. I’m just a little conflicted as to how I feel about being called a “MILF”.
First off, I’m only 27 years old, and when I think of the word “MILF” I think of an older woman in her late 30s or early 40s….but regardless, I think calling a woman a “MILF” is kind rude.
I think I first heard the word “MILF” when I was 7 years old when I was watch that movie American Pie with my older brother. First, no 7 year old should ever watch American Pie, I would just pass out if my children ever watched a raunchy R-rated movie like American Pie before they were 18 years old.
Anyways, I first heard the term “MILF” when I was 7, and for those of you that don’t know what “MILF” stands for “MILF” is short for “Mom I’d Like To F*ck.”
Today “MILF” is splattered on mugs, shirts, books, and other paraphernalia. The reasons you should never call a mom a MILF are greater in number than the term’s popularity, though, and should be taken into account anytime someone decides to describe a mother in relation to how much they want to have sex with her. You know, because gross.
While some women take pride in being dubbed a MILF, I take issue with the term for reasons other than how damn disrespectful it is. While it’s demeaning and rude to be referred to in such a way, it’s also wrong on so many levels. Don’t get me wrong, I love feeling sexy and desirable. I enjoy turning heads and my ego could use a few more compliments. MILF isn’t a complement, though. In fact. MILF is misogynistic. The term reminds me of teenage boys drooling over each other’s gorgeous moms. It does not scream “you’re beautiful,” it screams “you’re doable and I’m horny.” And, furthermore, the words of teenage boys isn’t where grown women should be searching for validations. (That should come from within, but that’s a separate issue.)
So if you’re a man that finds himself in the check-out line at Target, don’t call mothers MILFs. It’s not nice and it’s offensive. If you want to pay a woman a compliment, there are thousands of other ways. If you can’t figure out what else to call a woman aside from MILF, then maybe you can do some soul searching? That could be good for everyone involved.
Maybe I’m being a prude.
