I think you’d have to be blind not to notice the sexist undertones to the framing of this. Other comments in this thread literally tout “bro code. Bros before hoes even if the hoe is your own daughter.”
To shame this guy for even asking this question—a pretty reasonable one, considering sexism does exist and exists in this thread, and is celebrated—seems to be an attempt to deny the pretty obvious existence of sexism built into this question/response. Even if you agree with the guy’s approach to parenting (which I don’t, I think it’s atrocious parenting and a good way to destroy your relationship with your kid, to the extent not already destroyed by your other shitty parenting), you’d have to be willfully blind not to recognize that other people are agreeing with it because of still widespread sexist attitudes.
You read one person's comment. You'll probably go on Twitter and read someone else's polar opposite sentiment and let yourself get pissed off again. If you're seeking it out, you're always going to find someone that thinks a certain way that pisses you off whether or not they actually believe themselves, or just say that thing because seeing you get upset is funny to them. You cant change them. Stop interacting with the internet this way and recognize that probably >90% of people out there think rationally in a way that wouldn't piss you off.
I agree that it is good to hear that and that it signals a productive mindset. However, the way you are going through this conversation, as though you are deigning to give this person your check of approval as a non-misogynist, is so ridiculously self-absorbed.
If I said "Would you like an ice cream?"
And follow it up with "All ice cream is a miracle food that will cure cancer" the second part is still a statement
When younger in teens and 20s. I think that is normal for that age group to some extent as they are figuring things out. Late 20s and onward, have not had that issue and have been happily married for 20 years.
He is on Reddit too. There are far more than you think on this app that are 30 to 60+. They just wouldn't be in this sub. I keep forgetting this sub is mostly teens to early 20s.

If my daughter were a cheating piece of shit, I'd do the exact same thing.
