Perhaps it could be psychological...maybe he felt ignored by mom, thought his mom was away from him too much being an activist and now tries to get payback against the sort of people he blames for her spending her time picketing and marching rather than being Carol Brady.

Not fair of him to feel that way, but I can see that as a possible root of his attitude.
