About

"My Wife's Son" is a self-deprecative term of address used by anonymous users on 4chan to poke fun at politically liberal or regressive leftist beta males as being cuckolds by implying that their significant others have had extramarital relationships. On 4chan, the term is frequently used in replies to insult the original poster (OP) and oftentimes paired with references to other memes, most notably Carl the Cuck and "Don't Talk to Me or My Son Ever Again".

Origin

On August 30th, 2015, an anonymous user on 4chan's /fit/ (fitness) board started a thread titled ">tfw brought my wife's son to the gym for the first time today and showed him some basic exercises". Later that same day, a screenshot of the thread was submitted to Reddit's /r/4chan, where it accrued 1,186 upvotes prior to being archived.

In response, many mocked Gillette for replying to the comment.
