07 Sep Dad’s “Rules For Dating His Daughters” Post Goes Viral For A Brilliant Reason

Dads are famed for being overprotective of their daughters. It’s now turned into a running joke online, with countless dads uploading videos of themselves telling their very young daughters that they can’t have boyfriends when they’re older.

However, this is a dangerous attitude for dads to have. Young girls get hurt. It’s an inevitable part of life, and instead of jokingly threatening boyfriends with dismemberment, they should be teaching their daughters how to look after themselves.

At its heart, this view is inherently sexist because it implies that women need to be protected by men.

Dads often worry about their daughters having relationships when they are young because they know that some young boys want to get physical, instead of having genuine relationships with them.

This admittedly hilarious video went viral last year for this very reason.

“I want a boyfriend,” the young girl says.

“You’re not getting a boyfriend,” he dad replies. “You’re going to be a nun and work for Jesus.”

However, instead of adopting the attitude of many and being aggressive about the people his daughters date, dad-of-five J. Warren Welch wrote an post with his alternative “rules for dating his daughter” that is going viral for a brilliant reason.
