Daddy: A Cultural Anthology

About: An exploration of the word “daddy.” Whether you use the term “daddy,” “daddy issues” or “zaddy,” the word has seen a recent cultural resurgence.

Does the phenomenon of young women calling their boyfriends daddy make you uncomfortable? Does it bring up associations with the kink community? Or maybe the term is a trigger word for you.
Pay: Not listed
Submissions: Poetry, fiction, essays, or visual artwork about daddy are all accepted.
