Fathers of daughters: Do you think all men are scum till proven otherwise?

[Malienation]

Deja vue all over again. In a similar thread, I argued:

Jesus, man, how the fuck did all these alleged “tough guys” get to view their pathetic routines as okay? How’d being petrified of their daughter’s sexuality get construed as helpful, somehow?

Pussies.

I dated a the same girl in high school for most of my years there in the 70’s. She was the youngest of 3 kids by a long shot. Not only was her oldest brother a cop (he was 30), her dad was an experience police detective. Him, he had brains. He treated me right, like a man. I wasn’t , of course, but he made me feel like I was. I was already inclined to treat her right, but that’s not the point. He made me feel even more inclined to do so.

Yes, I was having safe (unusual back then) sex with her…and I treated her right while doing so. I cared for both her pleasure and her heart. Intimidation never would have helped dissuade us; that whole threatening thing is bullshit. He knew that. It works for 5 minutes, then the hormones make you forget it all. He knew that too. And even if it did work, it would scare off the nice guys…again and again. Eventually, a seriously tough guy, someone well versed in violence but charming enough to attract his daughter, wouldn’t run. He knew that as well…and knew he didn’t want that sort of guy for his daughter. Is that what you guys want your daughter to settle for? Where will you be then?
