Feminist Dad Gives Best Advice to his Daughter

Feminist Dad Gives Best Advice to his Daughter 2017-05-27T19:24:13+08:00 Cindy Brandt

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

A boy asks a girl out in sixth grade. She texts her Dad for advice and the conversation is as follows:

text 1

text 2

Too many things to love about this. First, can we take a moment to appreciate how cool it is the daughter’s first impulse is to ask her Dad for advice about a boy?

And then, BEFORE he interjects with advice that SHE asked for, he makes sure to solicit her OWN DESIRES. !!!

The awesomeness doesn’t end there: he reiterates her right to CONSENT.

IT IS OK TO SAY NO TO A GUY.

Feminist Dad, we gotta go now, but LOVE. YOU.
