Mutt Boy

Mutt Boy is a pejorative slang term, primarily used online, to describe a male individual who is perceived to be excessively devoted or subservient to a female, particularly in romantic or sexual contexts. The term carries connotations of weakness, desperation, and a lack of self-respect. It suggests the individual is willing to endure mistreatment or humiliation from the woman in the hope of gaining her affection or approval.

The "Mutt" portion of the term alludes to a dog, implying unquestioning loyalty and obedience, similar to the terms "simp" or "white knight." "Boy" is often added to infantilize the target and further diminish their perceived masculinity.

The term is often used in online forums, social media, and comment sections, frequently with the intention of shaming or criticizing men whose behavior is perceived as overly accommodating or simpering. Its usage can be considered misogynistic as it often criticizes men for treating women respectfully or for expressing genuine affection.

While the term attempts to critique unhealthy or unequal power dynamics in relationships, it often relies on and reinforces harmful gender stereotypes and can be used to discourage positive or supportive behavior towards women. The validity of the behavior being criticized is subjective and the application of the term is often based on biased interpretations of interactions.
