Does anyone have a dad that you think truly would beat up a guy who displeased their daughter?

By displeased I mean in the harsher context e.g. men who've dumped the girl, or men who've been a bit creepy, touchy un-wantedly even when told to stop, men who've been bullying the girl etc

Does the father stereotype really hold true in any of your cases or do you think, with few exceptions e.g. very tough ones, gangsters,etc. this isn't really true and there's no way you'd expect him to do it?

By daughter I mean especially if she is an adult daughter.

Yes. And he did!

My dad is only 5ft 8", unfit with a big old beer belly, no scary tattoos or criminal past and has a professional job even still into his 60's. He generally has quite a long fuse.

I was raped at 15 in awful circumstances by a nasty piece of work who was 16. After he did what he did, I was pretty traumatised and didn't tell anyone straight away. But eventually I had to, because to make matters worse, my attacker took to spreading vile rumours about me, following me and intimidating me.

One day he called my house phone (god only knows how he got the number) and my little sister picked up. He told her that he was going to fuck both of us next time and that no one would believe we weren't slags and to watch our backs. She was only 12/13!!! Once she told me dad, that was it...

...He got every single knife in the house (including a machete (?!), his cricket bat and an old blacksmiths iron (that my mum used as a doorstop!) and put it in the boot of his car. He drove round to the little bastards house, opened his car boot so it faced the front door (so all the weapons were visible) and then banged down the door. Bastards dad opened the door (this was around 9pm), very bewildered and bastard was standing on the staircase behind him. My dad was going berserk and telling him to come out and take his punishment for what he'd done. His dad threatened to call the police so my old man just said "you do that and whilst your at it, report that little cunt of a son of yours for raping and harassing my daughter before I drive to the cop shop and report him myself!" Bastard burst into tears and just kept saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" And his shocked father just said to my dad "we'll take care of him, don't you worry". As they closed the door on my dad he heard bastards dad shout "COME 'ERE!" and said he assumed the little shit got the beating if his life that night. Either way, I never heard another peep out of him!

Very out of character for my dad. But no regrets (even if it wasn't the sanest idea)!

Those t shirts about how daddy has a rifle for anyone who hurts his little girl make me want to vomit.

I honestly don’t know what my dad would do. I’ve only ever had a relationship with my husband and thankfully it’s been happily.

There is a big difference between someone dumping a girl which makes the daughter sad and someone assaulting her. If you witnessed your child being attacked male or female I think instincts would kick in to protect them.

My heart breaks for the parents who have had to sit through court cases and have listened to how their children were abused and killed. I honestly don’t know how they do it.

My dad’s as gentle as they come.

But when I was sexually assaulted as a teenager, as soon as I turned up crying and spilling my heart out, my dad and brother left to go and find the man. (They didn’t manage to catch him)

My dad would. I dont tell my dad some stuff as I hate violence etc. Im very different to him but he is the best and I love him lots.

My daughter was thrown out of her then boyfriends house after his infidelity. I helped her move into a new home. I did have a word with him, as he owed her a good deal of money. He stood there crying whilst I verbally told him what a waste of oxygen he was. Had he ever laid a finger on her, I would have ensured he never did again. I'm not a Neanderthal, but no man should hit a woman ever

Not me but I have a friend who was badly beaten up by a man in a attack in the street because she gave him some verbal when he made unwanted advances. Once the police were done with him her father ‘sorted’ it to his satisfaction.
