There's a difference between being close to one's parent and not having proper boundaries with one's parent.

and they resent the mothers because they can't have total control over their son.

Not just mothers but some women in general use emotional blackmail and shaming tactics "mamma's boy, not a REAL man" to belittle in hopes of gaining control.

So what if she does? What's it to you? Does that make him less of a man or something?

Talk about closed minded

Flip side is if the daughter is a daddy's little girl type, guys could always use the "you've always been spoiled, never worked hard for anything" line.

Point is, this goes both ways.

It can go both ways but it doesn't question a woman's femininity as it does a man's masculinity which some women like to use as a form of manipulation.

I think the worse thing a woman can do if she's caught in that situation with a son inappropriately close to his mother is to stay and wring their hands and ask why this and why that. If the man's mother is treating you like a rival and trying to get between you and your man, if the man allows it, move on to a man who has a more balanced relationship with his mother. Simple.

My mom is too, but she didn't selfishly hang onto her children for her own personal use. She let them grow up and go out into the world and become partners and spouses of other adults. And they were able to do that because Mom raised us to act like adults and because she was a good mother.
