The Strict Father is a fundamental set of metaphors described by George Lakoff. The key assumptions include:
- The World is a dangerous and scary place, so fathers need to be tough to survive
- Children are innately bad; that they must be punished to make them conform to the strict father's values
- Mother is the nurturer
- The market takes on the role of father, punishing laziness and stupidity, but reward self-discipline and talent
