Am I in the minority here? (About the post about 5 things every dad should teach his daughter)

That post really bothered me. <br><br>First of all, if I were to follow the advice of the first comment, I’d have to unfollow half my friends. And secondly, how does one even teach their daughter how to be confident? That’s not even a good point. <br><br>But the thing that really bothered me was the point about if a guy wants to hook up with you, he’ll come to you. This sounds like something a dad would say in an episode of Gilmore Girls, not something a real dad would say in 2023. I fell in love with my partner in 2023 and I came to him. He’d been acting like he wasn’t interested, I asked him if it was okay for me to kiss him, and then we made out. Then he told me that he was nervous about making a move and messing up on a friend. I did things wrong my entire life and I finally found a wonderful person who loves me. I don’t need to teach my daughter to wait around for some man to come to her. It seems like all the “advice” on that post was just a long list of outdated patriarchal cliches. <br><br>I’m expecting this post to get downvoted into oblivion because I think we all know the religious affiliations of the people who post on this sub but I’m just going to say it because I can.
