Media request: sons using derogatory language about their mothers

Hi there,

We've received the following media request.

Thanks,
MNHQ

I'm currently working on a feature about a rise in young boys calling their mums derogatory names. I'm looking to hear from mums who have experienced their sons calling them things like 'b*h', or anything that's particularly hurtful/offensive/sexist.

Perhaps they feel their son has picked up words like this on social media and is being influenced by toxic masculinity online, etc.

I appreciate this is a very sensitive topic, so all the mums would be kept anonymous. If you'd like to share your experience, please contact [email protected]
