momism \MOM-iz-uhm\ noun 1. excessive adulation of the mother and undue dependence on maternal care or protection, resulting in absence or loss of maturity and independence. Quotes No decade has gone by without some sort of brouhaha over changing gender roles. Typically, the root fear is that boys are becoming sissified dandies. In the 1950s, masculinists decried "Momism," the control of the household by the pants-wearing monster formerly known as Mother (think "Rebel Without a Cause"). -- Nick Gillespie, "Don’t Fear the 2010s," Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2010 Origin Momism was coined by US author Philip Wylie in his 1942 book A Generation of Vipers.
