This Man Did Something That’s Already Expected Of Women But He Gets Extra Praise Cause He’s A Man

No. A lot of women don’t go to cosmetology classes to learn how to do hair, they have the experience from growing up-their mom doing their hair, Then experimenting which what they can do themselves. This guy probably had short hair his entire life with no clue on what to do. He didn’t just look up how to do a ponytail, he paid for actual classes so that he could do his little daughters hair in cool and creative ways so that SHE gets the learning experience and learns how to do it her own and then can go to school with fabulous.
This is A+ daddy right here, he went above and beyond because he knows that he lack in certain areas where a mom would pick this up. Please don’t destroy nice things that men do simply because they are men and you want to hate them.

Please don’t destroy nice things that men do simply because they are men and you want to hate them.

Shots fired.

Fucking destroyed

“Lemme project my anger over my absent father onto some dude who loves his daughter”

When people do this ‘men doing the same things as women and getting extra credit for it’ they ignoreforget that often these are men doing things that they have been socially conditioned not to do through fear of weakness, showing vulnerability, being seen as overtly feminine, etc. Context of how men have been raised and conditioned to behave matters. These guys are subverting the patriarchy through kindness, which is a boss move whichever way you look at it.

If we did the same thing every time a woman subverted the patriarchy to do ‘what’s expected’ of a man – become a ceo, win high-profile sports cases, direct oscar-winning films etc – we’d understandably be called out for complete lack of understanding of several hundred years of patriarchal fuckery. It’s the same thing here.

Don’t take away from good work simply because you want to appear fashionable and dude-hating.
