[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never heard of a young girl being called mama.
Time to get out of my white, umc  bubble I guess! [/quote]  In this day and age, I find calling a 10, and 8 year old little Mamas horrible.  So they are  only good to grow up and be Mothers right?  I had two girls, and they are feminists, believe me, they would not find the term appropriate.  I could never see calling my nieces little Mama's.  Maybe like a lot of things, this term needs to go, cultural term, or not. [/quote]

You are missing the point. It has nothing to do with calling them mothers.  It's a term of endearment like "honey."  I don't call my girls mama or little mama, but understand that it's meant as a term of affection, not something meaning girls only have one function in life.  Feel free not to use it, but please don't impose your bias on others.  I also find it interesting that you mention feminists, while you are bashing other cultures and trying to tell them they need to get rid of their term of endearment because you don't like it and choose not to take the time to see that it's not derogatory.  Women's rights=good, other cultures' right=not good.  So open minded and progressive  :roll:
