If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I've seen it used in arenas that imply that the mere act of giving birth reduces a woman's attractiveness as much as or more than aging can, so it's no longer about relative age. She's not fresh anymore.
Yeah, kind of the whole point as far as I can tell is an assumption that "mother" automatically means unsexy, hence the singling out of the MILF as some bizarre exception.
OTOH, silver fox has that same implication I guess, but without the negative vibe (IME) so I'm not sure where the distinction is. Maybe because it's not so gendered. (Or is it? Maybe it's also because we're generally not so hyper-vigilant about rating and ranking men's sexuality.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And "everyone knows" that men get better with age, unlike women. (Barf.)

Because books.
See, I always thought MILF was just something teenage boys came up with when faced with a friend's mom who was hot. Sort of a "Stacy's Mom" thing.

Me, too!
(The hilarity when my brother married a woman named Stacy was undercut by his unblinking threats of maiming should anyone play that song at the reception.)
(Nope, nobody -- including me -- was dumb enough to even try to play it. Although Stacy's mom [that is, my brother's MiL] is attractive.)

Coming in late ... but cougar always struck me as moderately favorable - kind of, she's going after younger men and she gets them.
Silver fox is pretty much gender-neutral, but strikes me as mostly favorable - i.e., the hair's white, but they're attractive.
And years ago, chickenhawk was used of men who preyed on underage boys. Usage may have changed.

Me three. In fact, i feel like I started hearing it around the Stacy's mom/American Pie time.

I think it started out that way, but I have heard younger men (the rugby boys, not sure if that's a representative sample), notice an attractive older woman across the bar and say "whoa, check out the MILF."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
the Stacy's mom/American Pie time.
ISn't there a big gap between those two? I thought Stacy's Mom was relatively recent.
