maybe because daughters can get pregnant and sons can not? if you throw a boy out into the world alone whether it's the streets or a deserted island, he'll eventually figure it out how to thrive, for a girl it's the opposite hence why fathers are more protective of daughters than sons. shame that mothers aren't thinking the same way.
males tend to be more logical and females tend to be more emotional thus any trauma that a girl suffers is a lot more difficult to recover from e. g. molested as a toddler whereas for a boy he has to go through years upon years of abuse, bullying, neglect, shame to finally strip away his pride, confidence, dignity and self-esteem until he finally commits suicide. it's also expected that the manly thing to do is power through your problems and bottle them up which doesn't help either. sure tough love is needed from time to time but lack of understanding and empathy is going overboard.
peer pressure and hive mind mentality affects women a lot more than men. men need years upon years of early education indoctrination to get them to believe something while women can easily fall for any lie such as the wage gap myth.
as long as the logic computes, it's a lot easier for men to switch from either end of the belief spectrum while trying to convince a feminist to no longer become a feminist is a futile job in itself.
I can't speak for all men with daughters. I'll just speak for me. I'm equally protective of both my boys and my girl. But I don't believe in over protective and shielding and locking in towers. They can all date if they want when they want. I want to meet the guy/girl they're going to date. Not to be controlling or tell them who to date but to make sure they're not a jerk. I'm going to be protective of my kids by giving them information, a safe place to ask questions, room to make mistakes, support when they need it and silence when they don't, helping them understand what risks are out there and how to mitigate those risks. I want my daughter (and my sons) to be bold and confident and not afraid of her body or dating or sex but armed with the right information to make smart decisions when she needs/wants to make those decisions.
Because personal safety stuff isn't a question of what most people will do. The problem isn't that we think all, or even most men WILL do something, it's that we know any man could.
Same with the distrust so many men have for women.
I don't operate on the assumption that every woman I talk to is going to accuse me of rape and try to steal my money. But I am aware it's a possibility, so I take steps to avoid getting into situations that make me vulnerable to that kind of predatory behavior.
Lol who told you that shit? We aren’t innocent, we know that. That’s why we’re so protective of our daughters because as a man I know what I want to do to another man’s daughter sexually. So I know what other me want to do to my daughter as well. Not only that as your daughter she’s always going to be that little girl who followed you around, maybe fell over cried to which you picked her up and consoled her.
Maybe because they have a great idea of the kinds of things boys that age think of and expect from a girl on a date or even try to get on a date.
I never trusted any of the guys my daughter dated. I let them know that it would not end well for them if they did not behave.
Overprotective dad trope, and his daughter might be innocent AKA not feminist.
This site has a serious problem with broad brushing. Look up disjoint groups, for pity's sake.
For the same reason why mothers are so overprotective of their sons, especially when it comes to dating other females. Because mothers know what some females are like, and they want better for their sons.
No, no. You're missing the point. Women are horrible AFTER they become corrupted. Men are trying to protect their daughters from ALL of that.
There are bad people in every group of humans
