Why is motherf*&^er an insult? Why is fatherf*&^er not?

Inspired by this exchange.

Why is motherfucker an insult? Why is fatherfucker not?

What’s the logic behind the insult? You have sex with women who have given birth, and therefore you suck? I don’t follow.

And why the double standard?

All explanations and theories welcome.
