A type of toxic behaviour most commonly exhibited by middle aged women which seeks to control or discredit a person through a sustained campaign of infantilisation, gaslighting and intense focus on the target's perceived flaws or disabilities.
Through this the perpetrator sets themselves up as a protective mother figure of an otherwise capable adult to whom they are usually not related.
This tactic is often used in the defence of bigotry or conspiracy theories such as the anti-vax movement, the goal being to portray the target as too immature to have their arguments taken seriously.

Get the Mazerati Shawty mug.You’ll never meet another girl like Matherly. She loves the Lord and always seems to have a positive attitude. She is smart, confident in herself, and will never cease to amaze you will all her quirks. You’ll find yourself always wanting to spend more time with her because her presence just lifts your spirits without trying. Matherly has a rare name because she’s a rare girl! She attracts many friends and has few enemies. She never means any harm and cares deeply for every person she comes in contact with. She’s a very go with the flow person but will never do something that does not agree with her heart. And if she does, she’s sure to speak her mind. If you have a Matherly, cherish her!
