To think this has been phrased badly

[itsmeitscathy]

On street parking tix have been sponsored by a charity and the message on the back reads "be the kind of man you want your daughter to be with" with a picture of a man and child.

AIBU to dislike this and think it should be "be the kind of person you want your child to be with"? It just seems a bit odd to me.

What do you think?

Which charity? That could make a difference.

Is it the White Ribbon Organisation or another anti male violence charity? If so, I think that it's perfectly acceptable to recognise male violence against woman is a gendered issue.

I don't want to be any kind of man.

Therefore YANBU.

yy to person/child

I agree. It's a strange message. I can see what they're getting at but it's oddly worded.

Er, I don't want to be any kind of man.

It's a quote though.

Oh, Thingy got there first

I agree with Boofy that it sounds like it is a message specifically aimed at men, about DV or similar. YABU if you're suggesting that it's un-PC to mention male on female violence.

Yanbu I really dislike that phrase and all other things like that. "A little girls first love is her daddy" and that video that was on FB a while back about that guy getting all ready to go on a date and then he was picking up his own young daughter as a way to show her how she should be treated by men in the future.
I understand the sentiment behind it all, it just makes me uncomfortable. I didn't grow up with my dad in my life yet I still know how I should be treated by men (and any other person in this world) my mum taught me.
I may read into it a little too much, I just really dislike the wording. Each to their own I guess

YANBU. The ticket presumes that the recipient is male. It also advocates men treat women as if they were their daughters rather than as if they were (and here's a novel idea) people.

What is an "on street parking tix"?

I'll need to check out the charity. It's a parking ticket/sticker. Don't know what the right word is for it!

I'm a fairly ardent feminist and would, in most circumstances be fairly miffed abut the objectification but I'm happy to make an exception for a perpetrator programme. If a woman isn't beaten because her partners is shamed out of it by being reminded of his daughter/mother/whoever, I'd think that was for the greater good.

Boofy27 Even better if he does not need to be shamed out of it because the idea has never occurred to him, which is why this sort of education should be aimed at boys too young to be driving. But if this gets it throught to older men, well and good.
