[UA] Daddy?

[James Hardie]

As far as I recall, there is nothing preventing men from channelling the 
mother- only the masterless man and the flying Woman are gender exclusive 
(and personally I wouldn't object to masterless women). Sure a man 
channelling the Mother can't use one of the channels (since he'll never be 
pregnant), but that doesn't stop them. As it happens I've encountered almost 
as many male "mothers" as female ones in my forays into UA- sometimes with 
an altered channel, most commonly just missing one channel, once with a 
magickal item that made him seem pregnant (and unbeknownst to him, he was- 
with snakes) and one who was heavily into medical research in the hopes of 
a) using science to carry a baby to term and b) creating a baby without an 
egg, but two sperm, from himself and his life partner.
That being said more power to those trying to corrupt the archetype into 
merely the Parent, not that I see it happening soon.
I also agree with the idea that father's are demagogues or true kings to 
their children (or occasionally executioners)
