Professor Neil Shyminksy critiques the ubiquitous trope of fathers being overprotective to the point of toxicity, highlighting dangers of intimidation in father-daughter relationships.
He questions, 'What now?' when a father expresses anxiety about losing his daughter to a boyfriend, pointing out discomforting implications of such sentiments.
Shyminksy states his disbelief at a 13-year-old being 'terrified' of a father, saying, 'You want a 13-year-old to be terrified of you?'
In challenging the notion of intimidation, he emphasizes that promoting muscle as a power play over young relationships is misguided and unhealthy.
