Origin
What's the origin of Sky Daddy?
As a popular term, sky daddy appeared in an argument between two ladies. This argument was then uploaded on the internet as part of a TikTok video, by user loveurmother in November 30th, 2021.
The argument took place between a pro-abortion and an anti-abortion woman in front of an abortion clinic. The short video basically consists of the pro-choice activist making her points, arguably in an insulting way, possibly as a result of the heated conversation.
At the end of the video, the pro-choice lady utters the following: “…they’re making the best decision that they can in their situation and you’re trying to make them feel bad about it. So go off, Jennifer. Is that the validation you want from sky daddy?”
Spread & Usage
