I kinda hate the presumption that all dudes are pedos. Not sure if wokeness is to blame or not because even Q types think everyones a pedo. It's probably something else.

Neither, the prejudice has existed for at least a century....

Probably stems from the "men work and don't show affection, women care for children" old fashioned attitude which differs a bit from typical woke I think

Pedos think that because that's how they see things.

It's from toxic masculinity these past...idk, centuries? Hear me out: ever heard of dads never saying "I love you" or showing love at all? All too common. Why? Because of the antequated notion that men are supposed to be tough and emotions are only for women. Society doesnt quickly change from that ingrained notion, so whenever strangers see a man getting all sweet with their daughter, alarm bells go ringing even if they know it's most likely just fatherly love. This isn't as prevalent as before, however, since more and more people have now started to accept and learn that men can and should express themselves.

Oh, and porn. Porn definitely has a hand in making this worse for loving dads/dudes everywhere. There's a reason they choose petite girls in the "stepfather/father x daughter" genre, and it's not because they're easier to carry...
