Mother Superior Complex

A term to describe a cultural phenomenon of female privilege when it comes to child access issues and the many ways having a womb is considered a free pass to act in abhorrent ways - including denying access to fathers. It essentially means that any decision or action taken by a woman is deemed correct and righteous (especially in regards to children) by virtue of having a capacity to give birth. Regardless of how stupid and nonsensical the decision is. It also results in other privileges too, such as reduced jail time.

Mini-van Complex

A syndrome characterized by driving a mini-van recklessly, stemming from--and to compensate for--the shame of driving a mini-van (a direct relationship exists between the degree of “family orientation” to which the mini-van was engineered and the recklessness of the driver, and the mini-van can therefore be used as an indicator of potential road-hazard). Symptoms may include, but are not limited to: veering dangerously across highways, lack of turn signal use, speed limit disobedience, “baby on board” emblems, children’s sports logos, general disregard of the safety, or opinions, of others, and an all-around douchey disposition.
