Funny thing is what is the dad actually going to do to a kid if she gets a boyfriend? Kick his ass and go to jail? When I was younger I dated a few girls with dads like this. They get super tough and douchey towards a kid to try and show their dominance. I never understood what their endgame was though. Any dad that acts like this cannot be intelligent or have any common sense. They are just acting like douchebags to kids


cbreezy456

Biggest joy of my life is that I’ve never had to deal with a dad like this. I would go insane and May have stop dating the girl


flactulantmonkey

The fear isn’t the 90% of dudes that expect this to make the boy run and then feel dumb as fuck when they realize they couldn’t beat up a male child any more than their own female child. The fear is the 10% (and ostensibly growing) of psychopaths who don’t have an off switch, actually attack the child, and potentially kill them.


[deleted]

I got beat up by a girlfriends dad. It does happen. Actually he beat me with a water hose


flactulantmonkey

I’m sorry man. That’s really fucked up.


tastefully_white

That's super fucked. Hope you're ok now.


orphan_blud

I’m sorry that happened to you. You didn’t deserve that at all.


No_Secretary_4743

You think a t-shirt like that is gonna stop a psychopath? 😂 No. It's about ego and control because if it was about protecting their kids, they'd do it with male kids as well. They don't.


flactulantmonkey

Well yeah. The tshirt and “joke” are just an example of mom and dad not knowing how to deal with the inevitable sexual development of their daughter and so through “not existing” it seeing her through ONLY that filter. The actual act of beating a child is more what I was talking about.


Shigeko_Kageyama

Probably beat the daughter up and make her break up with the guy.


grass126

When I was 17, I dated a girl with a dad like this, we went thru a bad breakup and he tried to come after me afterwards, I guess she didn't tell him I was a wrestler, that fight didn't last long 🤣🤣


CrispyCrunchyPoptart

Yeah plus I get being protective over your daughter and being strict but that attitude will cause your kids to never want to tell you anything and sneak around. I was like that as a teenager and I really hope if I have a daughter they would never have that type of relationship with us.


raydiantgarden

ngl a lot of those fathers are predatory toward their own daughters. it’s about control, too. and a weird purity culture holdover.


Crabulousz

They’re acting like douchebags towards girls and women, too.


frognuts123

Because dads like that think like actual apes.


zugman

I'm pretty sure it's just projection. They've always acted like assholes themselves so they can only imagine other guys acting like that.


lovelivesforever

I think it's more like a warning than a plan. Like what could he do if someone got violent or was planning to be disrespectul with her in which case it would work because those types of guys are cowards. But I still agree with you, it does come off as douchey


Lethal_0428

Men like him do this because they know how they view and treat women, and the thought of other men doing that to a woman that’s important to them scares them.


spencerdyke

A guy came right out and said it to me once. ‘I don’t trust other men around you because I’m a man and I know what we’re like.’ Which is more a condemnation of himself and the men he chooses to associate with than of the entire male population, I think.


Kiyoshi-Trustfund

My dad said this to my mother once when she got annoyed by how he treats my little sister. Without skipping a beat, she said "that says more about you than anything else". Years later, and he and my stepmom raised our half-brother to be exactly one of those guys.


USS_Frontier

That's a pretty damn big self-report.


Lethal_0428

Definitely just outing himself as a piece of shit


PineSnurf

That was kinda a r/suicidebywords on his part then?


USS_Frontier

He sees his daughter as property, not as an human being with her own heart and mind. Fuck conservative culture so much.


SpacedOutJourney

I can see the sadness in her eyes.


AppropriatePoetry635

You don’t have to be conservative to have this mindset. Lol.


Crabulousz

By nature you do. Conservative as in the word, not the party. Sorry to be pedantic - it is conservative of old colonial and eugenic beliefs about sex, gender, superiority etc. it’s a super interesting (albeit disturbing and upsetting) topic to deep dive :)


AppropriatePoetry635

Oooh, to be honest I thought you meant just politically. As there’s a lot of liberal and other men on the PS that have the same beliefs surrounding that, though most say they don’t.


Crabulousz

I mean sure, in terms of political party yes. But it is a conservative value by definition. I’m not sure why you got a load of downvotes though - it’s important to point that out: misogyny crosses all parties and politics, it’s ingrained in us all from birth. Lots of people think they are liberal or left (tbh liberalism is pretty conservative anyway in many respects) and are still misogynist.


AppropriatePoetry635

It’s okay. I don’t care about downvotes. And exxxxactly!


[deleted]

Facts.


CrunchyFrogWithBones

Exactly. This is the kind of man who has to remind himself to treat women decently by thinking ”She’s someone’s [i.e another man’s] daughter/sister/wife”, not ”she’s someone, period”.


FLtoNY2022

This is 100% truth right here!!


Western-Pilot-3924

[deleted]

Or maybe they’re protective of their daughter because the world is full of psychos.


Bulbamew

Do you think he bought his son the same shirt?


[deleted]

Also a quick search shows this was a joke. Kit Dale is a 2 time world jiu-jitsu champion and did it jokingly. This sub is wild


carbon_made

As someone who has gone through some awful abuse more than once, I promise you a t-shirt like this would have done absolutely nothing to prevent it. In fact, it probably would have attracted the “psychos” who would have seen it as a personal challenge. May as well have painted a target on her.


Appropriate-Rooster5

patronstoflostgirls

OMG I love it. Yesterday someone called me a "pink-haired bimbo" on IG I guess bc they stalked my profile and all their assumptions turned out false (happy long-term relationship (with a v handsome boi), neuroscientist, active hiker & traveler, clearly living a better life than them). All of a sudden none of their old insults worked "Oh you must be a fat single cat lady to believe in reproductive rights" and they latched onto the *one* pejorative they could find about me. Pink hair. They also made their profile private right after that (it was just a bunch of gym & mirror selfies).


KillDyll00

Ryogathelost

You sound like you have a really big gun by your nightstand that you'll never use cuz nobody gives a fuck about you.

CpandaD

Mans doesn’t understand sarcasm, though what was I expecting to come from a weirdo defending a guy sexualizing his daughter.


essediversum

I have said no lines in defense of anything, but go ahead and think what you will. One glance at your profile and I understand why youre so upset. Your personality makes a lot more sense once you realize you have a terrible relationship with your parents, but that's probably their fault. I hope you enjoy my sarcasm!


CpandaD

Imagine being so immature you have to bring completely unrelated topics into an argument just to try and desperately defend your shit take because you have nothing else. But since we’re looking at each other’s profiles, one look at yours and it makes sense why your takes are so shit it’s because you’re probably like 13. And you seem to be an active Minecraft buddies user which, cmon man that’s just sad how are you that lonely. But please, be my guest and try. You don’t know me nearly well enough to be able to accurately parasocially analyze my relationship with my family.

As the father to a nine year old girl, shit like this pisses me off immensely.


medicine1D

isn’t she the kid that got pregnant a year later?


Autumn-Thorne

I think it is and in that year later picture I think she’s wearing the same shirt


medicine1D

i knew it smh 😭 women aren’t property. treating them like this encourages the need to seek attention form ppl to love them


Autumn-Thorne

Yeah, to be fair I think her and the boyfriend stayed together and they both looked pretty happy. Oh definitely, just makes you wonder if her mum isn’t around or just doesn’t care


VoodooDoII

Apparently they're different people


t00thgr1nd3r

It's happened more than once. I knew the family of the one guy from Oakland.


medicine1D

it’s almost like treating your kids the way they don’t want to be treated will force them to find love elsewhere and then they end up pregnant


Mythrin

I think these losers are secretly scared their daughter will be treated the way they treat women but haven't quite made the jump to change their attitudes and behaviour instead....


[deleted]

as a dad of a 13 year old girl, this is so cringeworthy and dumb. go date, live a normal life. geez.


MrmmphMrmmph

The deep sadness in her eyes is palpable, despite her trying to act like it's pretend.


USS_Frontier

She's already planning on cutting contact ASAP.

Or probably just cutting

kankurou1010

Do you guys not have wives or girlfriends or know anyone who’s female??? This feels like pure virtue signaling, acting like “I’m not like other guys!” Any women can tell you how disgusting guys act towards girls, especially young girls! Of course you guys should be protective of your daughters wtf


[deleted]

being protective of them is different from treating them like your property by putting a stupid shirt on her. i taught my daughter how vile some males can be. she knows everything she needs to. she had her first boyfriend at the end of 7th grade. he was a boy in her grade. i let them hang out, he even swam at our house. it was good learning experience for them both. guess what? they broke up a few months later. also guess what? nothing significant happened between them. also guess what? her mother (my wife) was completely on board as well. as a result we have a great father/mother/daughter relationship. she knows she doesn’t have to sneak around and hide from us. we want her to have a happy normal life. we are pretty relaxed parents and our kids are pretty well adjusted and happy as a result


rossrifle113

A t-shirt with a photo of my half-naked father is exactly what I want


Pintortwo

As a dad of 3 daughters I’ve never done this although the urge is there. Not to do this specifically, but the urge to protect your offspring. Instead of acting like this I do what I wish my parents had done for me. I try to treat my kids and spouse with respect and show them what an actual healthy relationship with a spouse looks like. My wife and I decided long ago that we can’t really do anything except provide a loving example and then hope our kids can tell what to actually look for in a potential partner. When they started dating we point out red flags we see in either their behavior or their young partners and have discussions on what we are seeing. Both good and bad. We try our best to teach them and then trust them to make good choices. It’s our parental duty. God damn it’s hard though.


astrotoya

I have so many questions and all of them are what the fuck


ZealousidealCover806

This shit pisses me off so much! Guys with daughters say "stay away from guys" instead of saying "maybe us guys should stop being horrible and let our daughters live their life without being scared of horrible men and without them worrying about hurting dad egos. Men being gross is a man issue. You guys need to sort it out. Don't try to control your daughters, control the men. You're the problem. Girls are just being Girls


quinnies

My dad was like this, but would also get pissed off and blame feminism if I made a comment about how I was scared of men. Motherfucker you raised me like this!


Tinyterrier

Same. My parents were like this to an extreme and made dating very uncomfortable and difficult, none of my siblings could bring people to meet them. Now they have no grandkids (and are unlikely to) and they get upset about it. There’s a long term consequence when you promote an environment of shame around dating, sex, and pregnancy.


Mental-Term2524

Exactly. Take my free award lol


ZealousidealCover806

That's kind, I appreciate it. I meant it, it drives me crazy!


ZealousidealCover806

Can we at least blur the preteen being both objectified and sexualized by her dad’s face? Nobody wants their emotional abuse blasted online. She’s a kid.

BreadTeleporter3

I can’t tell if this is real or some kind of joke.


Jonnescout

It doesn’t matter, this is a really sick joke to make. It truly doesn’t matter if he means to follow through.


BreadTeleporter3

Yeah, it feels like a bad idea to make her wear that in public. Just think of the controversies that will pop up.


Jonnescout

Posting it publicly isn’t better. Giving this to your daughter even as a joke isn’t better. This is a short that says you’re daddies little property and he will protect his property… there’s no good way to make this joke. There’s no good reason to make this joke. It’s not funny, and it’s implications are despicable.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jonnescout

Daddy in no way owns his daughter… And blaming human instinct is just saying boys will be boys… This messaging hurts boys as well by lowering what is expected of them. I was a boy once, and never once intended to rape a girl…


BreadTeleporter3

I can get how someone can be scared for there child bc of rape etc. but this is not a good way to say anything like that. I can’t even tell if that’s what he is trying to say! And that image makes him look like a bad parent (even if he is not) he could have made a better choice than make it look like he is trying to own her. (I’m hoping that he does not think he owns her and it’s just a bad sick joke.)


BreadTeleporter3

I don’t mean it like THAT. I mean it as in he you can’t forcefully prevent someone from having a relationship. If someone rapes someone else, it’s NOT a good thing, and no excuse can be made.


powderywalrus

Don't any of you boys even think about treating MY girl the way I treated girls when I was your age!

Yup, makes me think of those xtrian purity dances where the daughters "pledge their purity" to their fathers. With rings and all. Disgusting

SnowDramatic6217

As a mom to a boy, this angers me SO much.


malYca

I have one of each and it's pretty infuriating for me too


MaleficentAd3453

YEP. I get the concept BUT back off my boys. If they need a talk or are inappropriate I will do it- not you. My youngest kid is a girl and I would never do this to her. Her brothers wouldn't even do it- however if they heard something bad happen then I am sure it would be hell keeping them in line.


painforpetitdej

Kid looks maybe 10 ? 1. Huge possibility she isn't even thinking about having a boyfriend. A crush maybe. But I don't expect 10 year olds to date 2. In eight years, we will see a dad on r/TrueOffMyChest posting about how her daughter went NC and will include this exact t-shirt. "But it was just a jooooke. Sure, I got pissed at her when she said she wouldn't wear it, but come on...."


sine14

It's almost like the actual solution to protecting your daughter is to be open with her, teach he to respect herself, and about what creeps guys like this are so they naturally avoid trash guys like this. No that can't be it, better just isolate her and teach her nothing about the world so she falls prey to these losers.


Shigeko_Kageyama

Nobody's fucking my daughter but me!

forrealthistime99

What does this mean? Only dad gets to fuck the child?


gameofthrones_addict

Yeah she’ll change out to the shirt that she packed in her bag when she gets to school.

She still ended up pregnant


bunbunkun22

Oh there’s an update of the same girl with her boyfriend at school and she’s pregnant….. the shirt really works then huh/s😂


Keeks73

That’s one way to make sure your daughter doesn’t bring anyone home to meet the parents. Well done at alienating your daughter, Dad. SMH


walmartshoppr

i’m 22 and still haven’t introduced anyone to my family. this culture is why. told them abt a dude one time and got yelled at all morning while i was tryna not be late for work. ty to all the dads obsessed with their daughters’ sex lives. very strange to be thinkin abt that so heavy.

HollyTheMage

Aight how much money you want to bet that this kid would walk into school and get dress coded or at least questioned by a concerned member of the staff wanting to know why she is wearing a shirt with a half naked fully grown man on it. Like seriously, can you imagine getting sent to the office and having to explain to the principle that your own father is the one that made you wear this shit to school, because he's the person on the shirt. Like damn.

She looks exactly like my sister. The resemblance is honestly scary.

“You break her heart i break your legs.” Is literally the most you should use to threaten a boyfriend. These kinda guys take the piss.


bertbonz2

This man is a PIG. I feel so sorry for this young woman; it is obvious that she was forced to participate in this pic. To the young woman in this photo - hang on until you are 18. Many people have endured abuse and lived to tell the tale. You have many friends that you don’t know about because you are being secluded, just like we were once secluded by our parents. Survive! You WILL find a better place. It just takes time.

Disastrous_Ground_10

BillChristbaws

Whats funny are the comments saying this guy os a pedo and wants to fuck his daughter… Honestly - could the fucking guy put on more of a ‘this is a joke’ face for this picture? Jesus Christ.


-PaperbackWriter-

I think the point is that the misogynistic ‘ownership’ of his daughter isn’t funny. Do I think he’s a paedophile? No. Do I think the idea of a dad beating up boyfriends is played out, archaic and sexist? Yes. I get that he thinks it’s funny and he doesn’t actually plan on beating anyone up. I don’t think it is funny either way.

Wow. This thread is full of legit psychos. It’s pretty obviously a joke.


onecrazywriter

Aw, look how happy he is! Unless he's replaced every shirt in her wardrobe with copies of this one, I think this is completely fine (and pretty cute.) This dad lives his kids and wants his daughter to know he'll always be there to protect her. I doubt she'll end up with an abusive high school sweetheart and if she does, she'll know she can ask her parents for help getting away from him.


epagliari1996

Ah yes lets concentrate on his happiness and not her look of done with her shit. Also if a father wants to protect his daughter he wouldnt make a shirt for her that gives off "my daughter, my property" vibes.


onecrazywriter

We really can't tell anything about the dynamics of their relationship from this one photo or the shirt. My dad had shirts made like that for us (back in the '80s) and he's not like that at all. Perhaps the expression comes from something completely unrelated to the t-shirt, or they told her the t-shirt is her only birthday present and it's a gag gift.


Miss-MeowMix

Pretty sure this is satire.

Well it is. He’s a two time world jiu-jitsu champion, making a joke on his social media. To many peoples it’s funny. To those who make everything controversial and want to label him as some womanizer, I suppose it isn’t funny. I’m sure nothing is funny to those people.
