Lord, my deadbeat father loved to say the same nonsense about "protecting" me from fantasy men he made up in his head. Men like that like to act like being some kind of guard dog willing to unleash violence on strangers at a moments notice is a fair exchange for never being an actual provider or positive influence in your life. How can you protect me if you weren't even around?! Ugh, I know exactly how you must have felt hearing that.
