Huh. It sounds totally different in my head.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
But I think the current usage - and that particular phrase - is all leatherman.
No cites, but I think your data is skewed based on your location, you SF freak. I've heard it used a lot with no leather or men implied.

Some of the people I've heard use it have never *heard* of leathermen, I'd bet.
And here I keep thinking about D'Argo.
I'm so out of the loop.
I think the next line of the song is, "Is he rich like me?" so I figured the singer was trying to figure out if the object of his attention would be impressed by him or not. (Me = not, by the way)
Yeah, that's always what I assumed, not that he was asking it in a during-sex-kinda-"yeah baby who's your daddy say my name bitch" kinda way...
I have no idea if drag kings say "who's your daddy?".
Well, some of them are into leather type daddy/boi relationships, so yeah, I'd imagine they do. :)
And I would find "sucks" more offensive than "bites", really.
And here I keep thinking about D'Argo.
Hey, he wears leather, doesn't he?
Also, I'd never even considered hearing "bites" as offensive. I'm not personally offended by "sucks" either, but I could imagine someone else being bothered by it. Bites, though? Really? Huh.

Could be.

Because the phrase has burrowed up from the subculture and is widely kicked around with etymological ignorance of its origin. I think. It could have a pimp-source too. I can imagine that. But the phrase has a skeezy undertow to it that carries an element of sexual and personal dominance in it.
I guess I'm immune now. I don't think of either one as vulgar in the least...not that I think Queen Elizabeth uses either mind you.

Honestly, I think the vast majority of people think it has to do with "sugar daddy" and are utterly oblivious to any influence of sexual dominance of the more direct sort. It's a power and an "I'm da man" thing, as in the guy cackling "Who's your daddy?" as he scoops up the poker pot.
That is how they use it on TV.
