Cut the Real Life section for being two dubious claims and a random pun. For posterity:
- In most cultures, a man cannot even speak to his wife's parents. This trope is the Western form of this.
- The tired comedy cliché that a man's wife's mother is a bitch towards him is quite baffling, considering that in real life it's far more common for the husband's mother to conflict with his wife. Might be a result of a Double Standard: "Meh, women are always arguing with each other, but what did I do?"
- Mother-in-law is an anagram of "Woman Hitler".
Hello! I am not sure if I am doing this right but I wanted to suggest an image to use here for this trope. I think Patty and Selma from The Simpsons are the best example of this trope to use for the page considering their whole character traits is belitting Homer (even directly abusing him at times) whenever they meet up with him. They often tell their sister, Marge, that she could've done better (even with a monkey in one episode). I had a few images to suggest that would be perfect that shows their dynamic.
