A post from a boy mom sparked controversy on Threads, leading to over 1.7k replies. Her comment hinted at aggression toward future heartbreakers, which many criticized as reinforcing misogyny and harmful double standards. Respondents emphasized raising sons to process emotions maturely, rather than resorting to violence or blame. Some expressed disbelief at the notion of confronting teenage girls over relationship issues. Despite the backlash, a few users defended the boy mom, suggesting her remarks were misunderstood and intended humorously.
One user wrote, "You must have missed the memo. It's 2025 and we're raising our sons to be good men, and if they get their hearts broken, we teach them how to process their emotions. Because we want them to be mentally healthy. The only people we're 'squaring up' with are p€dos-definitely not young girls trying to figure out their world, too. Signed, A Mom of 4 Boys."
Another said, "And if that girl happens to be my 16 year old daughter, you'll be squaring off with me pretty bloody quickly. No one, especially not a grown arse woman, should be chastising a child for ending a relationship that isn't working for her. Teach your son to take no for an answer instead."
