Because of the pastryarchy.
The joke “Why are there poptarts but no momtarts? Because of the pastryarchy” is a play on words that combines the concept of “patriarchy” with pastries. “Patriarchy” refers to a system of society or government in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it. By replacing “patri-” with “pastry-“, the joke humorously suggests a system where certain pastries (like “poptarts”) dominate others. The term “poptarts” is a brand of toaster pastries, and the joke plays on the absence of a counterpart named “momtarts”.
Call your mom a tart and see what that gets you.
The only way they could be mom-tarts is if they were previously cream filled.
Because pop only gets to have a tart named after him, while mom is still waiting for her ‘Momffin.’
Mom is too busy making the poptarts to have one named after her.
