Well sometimes your own agency is enough and sometimes you need muscle. How terrible that this girl would know that her father would protect her. She is a child you know. SHe's in 9th grade so she's like 14 not 24![/quote]

It seems to be very important to that PP that the protecting be done specifically and exclusively by the father.[/quote]

Not the PP, but why is it ok for OP to "go full on momma bear" (per another PP), but not ok for the father to do the same?[/quote]

It's not OK for either of them--this is still a [b]child [/b]we're talking about.  [/quote]

Some of the PPs were advocating for the [i]mother[/i] to report the boy to admin, or the [i]mother[/i] to confront him.  But when another PP brought up the father doing the same thing, everyone was aghast.  Why is that?[/quote]

I suspect it is an intuitive reaction about motivation. We're not really in a place, yet, as society where the concept of wives and daughters being a form of property for patriarchs has been completely banished, so the notion that it would be the FATHER doing the protecting strikes some people as archaic and sexist since in times past, that guarding would have been rooted in protecting his own interests, not those of his child's.

Oh, FFS.  Both my husband and I have every right to defend our kids.  Why are you (and others) so focused on gender, to the exclusion of common sense?[/quote]
