This is from my history comic: Debunking the Spin Doctors with George Washington. It’s mainly for those of whom English is not your first language. Where I did NOT offer the full translation in captions, I am doing that here, just for you, dear reader. Also available for anyone who needs a visual guide for quick validation in the face of the golden womb entitlement thinkers. They literally don’t know any better, due to their cognitive dissonance (Trauma Glossary 1). No friend, it is not you, it’s them. The golden womb entitlement thinkers are unable to understand that bad mothers exist. In case you need a little more validation, especially against victim shamers, please check out my article: Victim Shamers: 5 Types in Your Community and How to Deal with Them.
(Above picture) A True Mother:
- Nurtures her children without over-coddling or over-validating
- Supports her children
- Does NOT demand her children support her
- Is proud of her children’s accomplishments
- Shows her children warmth and compassion.
(Above picture) Golden Womb Entitlement Thinkers Be Like:
- Yeah, but did you die?
- She gave you life and she let you live, too.
- You can’t say anything bad about your mom, even if it’s true.
(Above picture) Golden Womb Entitlement Beliefs:
- Only bad kids come from bad moms
- Good people resolve conflict with bad moms
- When these beliefs are contradicted, they experience cognitive dissonance.
- Cognitive dissonance prevents them from understanding the TRUTH
- This leads them into playing spin doctor
(Above picture) Social Customs of the 18th Century:
- Honor and obey your mother, no matter what.
- If your mother is abusive, suck it up and keep managing that relationship.
- Keep your passions in check: Anyone caught being “emo” is a social pariah.
- Manners and proper etiquette are everything!

Where the last picture (and translation) is concerned, is your culture similar to 18th century England and American customs? If not, what advantages or disadvantages do you have compared to the 18th century?
