Jocasta's Law

The maxim which states that one cannot refer to any woman as a mother on the Internet, without prompting a response that mentions Oedipus or his eponymous complex.
"Jenny wrote a blog post about her kids, and the first comment she got was about a reader's newly discovered Oedipal complex. It's Jocasta's Law in action."
