Protect them from what? Either they can consent to sex (and a dozen other things), or they can't. There's nothing "predatory" about it. I see this sort of empty machismo all the time. The male head of household has been stripped of his power and generally humiliated for generations. He's powerless to "protect" his offspring in almost any meaningful sense, and powerless in general. But one small way he can still feel powerful is to "protect" his daughters from age gaps, because this is one of the very few areas the law is on his side. So he overcompensates in this narrow area, venting all his impotent frustrations on semi-imaginary "pedophiles." It's all rather telling.
Couldn't have said it better. What a great post!
It's this fake macho crap in a time when women are supposed to be equal that makes no sense. Men USED to have to protect their daughter's chastity in many societies because there was no birth control, no welfare/wick/food stamps, no child support, no alimony, no 911, and women were unable to work and therefore completely reliant on a man for support. And women were severely shamed in many cultures for having premarital sex.
So, if a chad came through town and ended up impregnating their unwed daughter and leaving, they might not even have enough money to support the baby and famine was rampant until recent times and there needs to be a man to protect the woman from wild animals, rampaging males ect. And she'd have a "reputation" and guys back then didn't want to deal with single mothers like they do now.
But nowadays, none of this is reality. Women have the court system, can work and many their own money, the police, 16 methods of birth control, abortion, welfare, No one is more overprotected by daddy government than the modern woman.
That guy is now on ignore. He's willing to stalk and violently attack someone because his daughter
"feels" unsafe and he's slandering me as a predator. We've seen people of color hanging from trees from that mentality. White girl tears. The proper response would be to tell her to toughen up and put on her big girl panties and just say no thanks. I'm not sure how I'm a "predator". He mentions some guy who slept with an underage girl. Please tell me when I even went on a on a date with someone under 18? I don't date anyone under 18. Why is this guy slandering me with this nonsense.
Approaching women for a date in a respectful manner and leaving immediately if they're not interested? Yeah that's me. And that sure as hell isn't a predator and quite frankly makes a mockery out of people that are actual victims of sexual predators.
We went from trump grabbing woman by the "p"(probably just talk) being a big deal all the way to now just saying hello to a woman will get you labeled as a "predator". SMH
