The claim behind the joke is a real argument, and an old one: that goddess worship predates the male monotheisms, and that the mother precedes the son. How far that holds up historically is genuinely contested among scholars, and the strongest versions of it are not well supported by the evidence. It is fair to say the question is more open than either side usually admits.

What the sticker is really doing is answering a certain kind of confidence with a certain kind of cheek, which is a long tradition in its own right. Whether you want that on your car is a question about your temperament and your neighbourhood, and we will leave it with you.

1. Clean the surface thoroughly and let it dry before applying.
2. Peel and place it carefully, smoothing outward from the center to avoid bubbles.
3. Consider the spot, and the parking lot, with some care.
4. Keep it clear of wipers, sensors, and anything that needs to move.

Weather-resistant vinyl, made to survive being on the outside of a car.

How do I apply it?
