A Dad’s Quandry. Interesting Post.

Jump to Comments

I liked the fact that this person actually dealt with the coming-of-age of men that have decided to marry and begin families. This is not unusual by any means, however, his take is interesting to say the least.

The fact that he feels some new, (albeit conflicting and confusing) sort of self-awareness of his daughter’s entrance into the world of sexuality frightens him. Why? Well, he seems to understand that men tend to objectify girls, the media sluts, as he refers to them. He himself seem to have a few screws loose on the way he has objectified women.

I believe that he needs to do a little house-cleaning before he directs his well-intentioned but seriously misguided belief systems on his budding baby girl. Hopefully he will be able to understand that his views are skewed, and re-think his desires to view said sluts in front of her.

What is troubling, is he wants one thing for her, and another one for himself. Double standard will be seen by her, and she will see what her father is finding exciting in a woman, unfortunately, it’s not going to be a very well adjusted young lady, unless he changes course. She is inundated with the idea of women being objectified without her own father saying “Do what I say, not what I do”. It just doesn’t work that way. Little girls look up to their fathers, and will emulate what he sees as attractive in order to gain his acceptance. Tread lightly, Dad. Here is his post. Check out the comments.
