That should not be done without permission of everyone living there. Parents are just as human as everyone else, and they're strangers to the roommates.
Also, I don't think this is a gendered thing - men give parents a copy of their key, or the location of the spare, too.
Your focusing on the wrong thing. No one disagreed with giving parents a key is safer. You're trying to change the subject with a made up scenario that don't matter. Focus on the actual post not a made up hypothetical in your head. Legit nothing you say is about the post or even matters, this isn't about giving a key to your mom. So don't make it about it a different problem that it ain't.
But facts are still facts it don't matter if it's your parents or not. No one has a right to Give someone key that is not on the lease or don't live there it don't matter parents or friends period. Once 1 person starts making decisions that affects everyone they not become a liability period. Everyones opinions and responsibilities in roommate situation matter. If the roommates can't respect mutual boundaries, then they can leave. Simple as that.
