It’s hardly only the far left. People in cultures the world over blame the mother constantly for literally everything. Women were also blamed and even murdered for centuries for not producing male heirs, like THEIR body had “failed.”

Even today in the West, when a child gets hurt or gets into trouble, people scream “where was the mother?!“ and the father is hardly even mentioned. Granted, no responsible adult should be neglecting their small children, but dads get off the hook constantly.

Why are working mothers, divorced/single moms, and feminists such a boogeyman of the far right? So that they can blame mothers for every single social ill. I don’t think it’s a left-right issue in any way.
