mom is just a term for who gave birth in this case.
A meaningless term that could easily be left unused here lol cismen can give birth in this fictional world so why stick with a reductive word from our reality ? To me it just feels like no matter if the story is about two men some female authors subconsciously use the "heteronorm" dynamic to define the relationship.
My guess is that they use the term “mom” to avoid confusing the readers. If the children were to call both of their parents “dad,” how would we know which one they’re referring to? So, I think they stick with “mom” just to make that distinction clearer. Still, I totally agree, it’s about time they come up with a new term. I mean, if you’re going to create a fictional world where male pregnancy is the norm, you might as well invent a word for it too.
I'll never understand the use of "mom" when talking about omegas male who had kids (⊙…⊙ )
They're men from a fantasy world who can get pregnant, why the need to make them cater to a heterosexual dynamic "norm"? It just feels wrong
