Rules for dating my son

I've just seen a horrible post on my Facebook. As a mother to two girls this has made me feel really angry.

Rules for dating my son
He is not your ATM
If you dress like a stripper I will make you go away
I brought him up as a gentleman, you had best be a lady

Various other nasties about 'tricking my son into putting a ring on your finger'.

I know this is just facebook rubbish. Why would anyone spread this rubbish?

A White Knight father?

Oh dear me!

So.... White Knights are men who respect the women in their lives? How terribly unfeminist of them. I can see why you MRAs hate them so much Hmm

Its a response to one about rules about dating my daughter from a feminist dad. Her body her choice, not mine, not yours is the gist of that one, iirc.

I think you mean this one?

I dont see it as rules of a feminist father at all, I see it as rules of a White Knight father, although its a step up from the Black Knight crap listed in the second picture.

Waffly - just googled and read the feminist father article...I don't make the rules, you don't make the rules. I see what you mean now.

Um I agree with all the above , wouldn't post them as " rules "on Facebook though.

Of you can find it maybe post in response saying something about how sad it is that people have to respond to such a respectful message with sexist tripe.
