Dad Mode: This One Definitely Needs a Discussion
This is one of the serious ones. 'Foid' is a word used in incel communities to dehumanize women. If your kid is using this word seriously, it means they've been spending time in some genuinely dark corners of the internet. This isn't a meme or a joke. It's a word designed to strip women of their humanity. Worth a real, compassionate conversation about where they're hearing this and what they think about it.
Came from: Incel forums (incels.co, r/braincels, lookism.net), 2010s
Examples
“Foids only care about looks”
