my dad’s lonely and it makes me sad because his “valid reason” is just that he’s socially awkward (and I’m 99% sure he has autism). it makes me so sad :(

Fr, I would feel miserable if I thought like this 24/7. Just finding ways to hate men 🤷‍♀️

yeah I have no idea how this post is meant to call out anything patriarchal or how it’s meant to help women stay safe. it’s just needlessly rude 😭

I like to think they know their own dads better than a internet stranger making assumptions

There was a lonely old man who used to live at the senior care facility I worked at. Sweetest person I ever met, I’d talk to him during my shifts, he was lonely though. His wife passed, he had dementia, and his kids just dumped him there and seldom visited. One day he seemed really excited, was old dressed up and he told me his son was going to pick him up and take him to a restaurant for his birthday. Only his son never showed up. He spent hours waiting in the lobby.

I eventually left that place, I was in high school when I had the job and was moving on to bigger and better things. I still think about that old man. He may not still be around but he had a impact on my life even if he wasn’t all there some of the time

Yes exactly! A close friend of mine is a lot closer to her dad than her biological mom. It’s mostly been him who has raised her. Her dad was also with her when she got her first period and helped her, and then she went home and her mom made her cry. Her dad as always been there for her and she’s able to be open to him about everything. Oh and her parents got a divorce, and she went to stay with her dad, who later remarried, and she only visits her biological mom a few times a year.

Forgot to add that her biological mom isn’t as affectionate and is kind of cold

I doubt he has questionable morals he’s a raging feminist who’s supported everything I’ve ever done. He’s also an amazing husband to my mother

i know a lot about people as a whole, and families as a whole. I don’t need to know you specifically in order to form an opinion on why a LOT OF PEOPLE think their dads are great. If everyone who THINKS they had a great person as a dad ACTUALLY had a great person as a dad there would be far fewer problems concerning our current state in America

You can’t make a generalization

You’re going to swear by your parents no matter what (until there’s a breaking point) because instinctually people love their parents unconditionally. What is the phrase— pink tinted glasses— or something? Love, especially parental love, blinds people to their parents actual personal morals and values by the same way that it blinds people from their horrible S/O’s. Except parental love is INSTINCTUAL and therefore naturally much stronger, and more tinted

…this is why you have no friends, your incredibly judgmental towards hypothetical people you have never even met. Also, your whole thing about parental love blinding people is bs. Maybe as children yeah but as we get older most people start to see their parents as flawed people myself included. Msybe the problem with the state of America is less someone dad and moreso has to do with people like you acting like an asshole online and doubling down. You’re projecting and it’s embarrassing

but i definitely agree that the problem with america isn’t patriarchy or class struggle or racism or anything like that, but me being online and telling people that their dads *might* not be as good as they think. You sound so incredibly dull

People like you actually. Not sure I would call projecting my daddy issues online cooking but if it helps you feel better then go off I guess
