Rules for Dating My Daughter

I had some thoughts on the popular Feminist Father t-shirt that we’ve all seen floating around online

I need to show this to my dad. I know he means well but he’s still one of those parents that’s says “be the change in this world” and once I attempt it, his narrative shifts and all of a sudden I’m some sort of radfem because he doesn’t understand what I’m saying.
Both of my parents vowed to raise us better than my grandparents raised them and they did. The problem was that their insight kind of stops where mine picks up and takes off. This makes a really good point.
Unfortunately I’m still relying on other men to convince my dad of things I’ve been telling him for years. It’s been like that from day one and he’s never really figured that out.
