"Fathered" is a really stupid word... As nonsensical as most of what's going on these days. Just think about anything being "unfathered"... or being "mothered".

A: "Excuse me, sir!" B: "Yes, please?" A: "May I ask you to be fathered by me?" B: "Oh fuck off... learn some laNgUaGE!"

Only a tool would use the manipulation of words to control people. Or images, which are tightly linked with optimized search phrases.
