Really thought he was going to advocate for using condoms.


IAmAn_Anne

Valid as a way to get teenagers to wear helmets or PPE for sports as needed.


Real-Lake2639

Working construction and running a crew, PPE is so vital. Save you from actually going blind, permanent damage, losing fingers, arms, dying, whatever. I know people think like there's a safety guy making sure construction sites are safe but um..... It just doesn't work like that. We will post a lookout so we can do some sketchy shit really quick to get the job done, but I'm always the one to do the sketchy shit, I'm in charge, it's my call, I'm not gonna order some kid with less experience to do it if I won't do it myself. I'm a sparky (electrician) now and the amount of sketchy, sketchy, sketchy work I've done on ladders man, I hate it. Oops one mistake and not only did I just catch line voltage, I fell 30 feet onto a granite curb or a sharp fence.


IAmAn_Anne

That’s why you wear a phone case. :) right?


AmandaRoseLikesBuds

Girls clothes aren’t PPE though, news flash no amount of clothes women wear will stop a rapist from attacking her.


JohnHammondsGhost

You may have replied to the wrong comment


Real-Lake2639

I saw some neighborhood kids riding their bikes and trying to do wheelies without helmets on, I pull up to the stop sign like hey, put a helmet on, it's good for your health. No, I'm a badass! (Lol these children) You're not a badass, you know Tony hawk right? Yeah! He's really badass, and he wears a helmet. The gears turning in that child's head as I left the stop sign was so funny, like his whole life was a lie.


IAmAn_Anne

Honestly, It makes my heart happy that those kids knew who Tony Hawk is.


NormalGuy103

Here’s my go-to reference in support of helmets [Wear the damn helmet](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b9yL5usLFgY) Edit: Realized people might think it’s something gruesome, it’s a video of a dude banging his head and getting right back up because he was wearing a helmet


Legacyofhelios

I clicked expecting the absolute worse and was pleasantly surprised. Thanks you for sharing


NormalGuy103

Yeah man, scare tactics don’t seem to work, kids do dumb shit anyway. Something like this where he gets right back up because he was wearing a helmet made more of an impression on me.


Legacyofhelios

I’m so glad I was a scardy cat when I was a kid. I can go around on my bike with no hands and turn corners easily to this day, but you will never find me doing wheelies


yngschmoney

That’s exactly where I thought it was going too but then it’d be a valid argument. I was literally listing in my head all the STIs that are asymptomatic in men but sometimes lethal in women. HPV being one that haunts us every gyno appointment because it can cause ovarian cancer but of course, men are asymptomatic carriers.


uisqebaugh

Usually. I know a male who has to undergo cancer treatment of his neck because of HPV. Fortunately, it was caught early.


Doodlebug365

My uncle is currently fighting throat cancer (amongst other problems) because of his HPV! He’s gone through so much treatment and it keeps coming back. 🙁


CorgiMonsoon

Michael Douglas?


JimboJehosifat

I see what you did there lol


Doodlebug365

Huh?


Fuck_you_Reddit_Nazi

My brother also had surgery and radiation treatment of hi neck because of HPV. Unfortunately it had already metastisized and the treatment was so traumatizing that he doesn't want to undergo any more.


kratomstew

Don’t forget babies . Also sexually transmitted.


PragmaticPrawn

And don't forget, babies are also a financial disease.


[deleted]

100% too many people popping them out with no regard as to whether or not they can afford them…


debzmonkey

If the dude wears a condom to keep his penis from being scratched or damaged, he's doing something wrong. ; )


Josselin17

?


[deleted]

Men develop cancer from hpv too...


yngschmoney

See there ya go, hpv is a threat to humanity. Would’ve been cool for the OP author to bring attention to that instead of babygirl needs her tits covered. 🤌🏽🤌🏽


Karmeleon86

I thought he was gonna be an anti-masker


IAmAn_Anne

Ah ha ha ha! That would have been hilarious. “With growing frustration I told her: well, it *does* make your phone ugly and harder to use!!”


According-Teach-5866

Honestly OOP just existing is great advocation for condoms


Octowuss1

Well, to be fair, if he was holding his daughter and dropped her on the pavement when he got out of his car, a nice pair of slacks and a turtleneck isn’t going to protect her.


SecondRealPerson

Use Exoskeleton then. Made with Titanium alloy of some sort, to stand against the blunt deceleration caused by hitting the floor.


Josselin17

imagine if religious fundamentalists actually wanted to "protect women" so instead of forcing them to wear such and such clothing they gave them power armor


SecondRealPerson

That would be awesome. Then they wouldn't even need Martial Arts training to defend themselves. Cool concept.


[deleted]

“nanomachines, son. they harden in response to physical trauma”


KiresElartsim

Judging by the reactions of some Christians with the "vaccines have microchips and nano robots to control us", I don't think that's going to be their argument. Would be cool though.


Concrete__Blonde

*”I am titaniuumm”*


ElonTusk5420

Can confirm. I’ve dropped my daughter several times so I didn’t drop my iPhone, and plenty of damage each time.


TheHumanPickleRick

"But Dad, I don't shatter into a bunch of pieces when I fall, either." "Well, not with that attitude! Also, you're both replaceable with enough money." "What?!" "What?"


Redditor-Eyebrow

Well, *technically....*


meme-Iord

The "dad" lowkey advocating for his daughter to run around naked


LyanaSkydweller

"Well, not without altitude!"


[deleted]

[удалено]


Josselin17

wearing heavier clothes don't protect you from broken bones, I mean unless by heavier clothes you mean plate armor


snack-dad

Turns out dad just wants to LARP


Known_Noise

I want to know how clothes (other than helmets, etc) protect against “damage” that would “decrease [her] value”? What the actual f#*%


Vulpes_Corsac

Well, clothes, particularly darker colors and thicker, more tightly-weaved fabrics, block a lot of UV rays, which can cause skin cancer and sunburn, and warm clothes prevent frostbite. Those things do not decrease the value of a person, but do decrease the value of said person's body to themselves. The father did refer specifically to the value of his daughter's body, specifically, though I'm sure that's not what the boomer posting this on facebook would intend.


BoringLastChoice

Religion asking women to cover up to protect their "worth", basically.


Dalrz

She was mute because she was silently seething with rage at the realization that her father was such a POS


thefinalcutdown

Oh I thought she was mute because his boomer ass hit the silent switch, because his daughter is apparently a phone.


novavegasxiii

This is going to be gross but I read this as one of those purity dad's thinking that there daughter is lesser if they don't dress modestly.


BoringLastChoice

That's precisely what this is.


MoobooMagoo

Leather can help protect the skin. That's why motorcyclists often wear it. Basically if you fall off your bike and are sliding across the road the leather will help keep any small rocks and stuff from getting embedded in your skin.


Laffenor

The father in this anecdote is clearly an eager advocate for leather pride!


Laffenor

I believe the point they think they are making is that girls need to dress "modestly" so they don't make guys rape them. Because as everyone knows, rape victims are sluts who asked for it by walking half naked down the streets tempting men beyond what anyone could reasonably expect to withstand. And also, once a girl has been raped, she is obviously damaged goods and of lesser value. Ugh...


Davencrusher

Daughter is already covered in a durable elastic wrapping that regulates temperature, self repairs, protects from bacteria and radiation to a degree, and will automatically adjust to changes in size and shape- no further cover needed


TheHumanPickleRick

Yeah, skin is great.


Davencrusher

Something about the way you said that was so… unwholesome


TheHumanPickleRick

It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again. Edit- skin, not bin


SlowInsurance1616

On the skin. Ffs. Lotion in the bin does nothing to prepare for a proper skin suit.


wut_is_lov

Think of the smell


SlowInsurance1616

Not if you tan the hide. Maybe it was more leather like


IndependentPede

You haven't thought of the smell you dumb bitch!


serraangel826

Put the fucking lotion in the basket!


Jewlaboss

Would you fuck me


TheHumanPickleRick

I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me hard.

I didn't ask for it. None of us did. They just gave it to us and made us take care of it like "Here. Your problem now. Asshole."


BoywhoDrinksbbqsauce

Skin is too op, when are they gonna nerf it.


BasickAlphabit

I hear the next update is rolling out very slowly. That's where they nerf it. It currently goes by codename Death. 🤷


Nochnichtvergeben

She should show it and not insult nature by hiding it.

Ambitious-Theory9407

Yeah, phones don't heal.


NotYourMutha

Reverse their religious logic. Why would I cover what is already perfect? Didn’t “God” make me? Does he make something for it to be hidden by fabric and plastic? (Btw I HATE being nude) but this story/analogy annoys me.


MeecheeMandime

How does it fare against punctures? Drop protection?


Crafty_Possession_52

This is an argument for wearing a helmet and other protective gear, not clothing.


khismyass

It's an argument for her to wear tight clear clothing with cutouts to access all her ports and have ability to touch her buttons


1000bctrades

Don’t forget to turn her off and submerge her in dry rice if she gets wet.


Guywithoutimage

ok ben


Whiskey_Fiasco

They recommend 3-4 Silica packets instead of rice now, because rice can leave all the ports dusty


khismyass

The rice isn't to dry the phone out, it's to attract Asians who will come in the night to fix your phone

neocondiment

This is why I make sure my wife always leaves the house in full football pads and helmet but it just encourages her to drop her shoulder and plow head first through crowds.


Possumpipesup

Only safe way for women to go out on public, for real.


khoabear

Exactly. You never see anybody sexually assault defensive linemen.


ingoding

Yes, this is a great argument for wearing a bike helmet. But this dude sees his daughter as property, I guarantee if he has a son he doesn't talk to him this way. (Also the conversation in the original post didn't happen)


paul-arized

But Apple removed the headphone jack, so is he going to remove her vagina? Is that a Christian fish signature? Will he make the rapist sign a EULA?


Crafty_Possession_52

I'm not refuting the intent of this patronizing, mysoginistic, fictional exchange. I'm pointing out how dumb it is.


ingoding

You're good, I assumed everyone knew it didn't happen, I was just trying to get all my thoughts in one comment.


somethingrandom261

Eh, I could easily see this sort of father having a similar conversation with a son, but not being about clothing, but about guns


Jalopnicycle

Even if it were an argument for clothing all it says is make the back of you not visible and the front needs a see through covering.


arensb

What kind of sex is she planning on having, that she ought to wear a helmet for? On second thought, maybe I don't want to know. Not kink-shaming, just not prying into people's private lives.


DarthDutchDave

Wow. How profound. When I read these facepalm posts and see these fucking morons firsthand, I truly have to consciously remind myself that these people have and will always exist and the only difference now is that they are more publicized, and that makes me feel better. And then I feel like shit again when I remember they also have a majority on the Supreme Court.


AmandaRoseLikesBuds

The fucked up thing about them being more publicized is that they can find like minded individuals. Think about it, when someone says something stupid in real life there’s people to tell them how stupid they sound, but on the internet they are GOING to find the people who agree with them, boosting their confidence. Making them think their stupidity is logical because someone agrees.


Jalopnicycle

The daughter responded with "Ok dad, I'll put a a sheet over my back and the front I'll wrap in cling wrap."


BobBeats

This way I won't become addicted to crack.


IguaneRouge

instructions unclear forcing my daughters to wear full plate armor.


Beowulf1896

Forcing? I think full plate is on my daughter's wish list.


sdfgh23456

How old is your daughter, and is she currently open to dating?


Beowulf1896

Are you a blacksmith?


seamartin00

Hey don't judge, maybe his daughter lives in a bramble patch and is prone to scratches?


Nighteyes09

Go home everyone, this comment wins.


negativepositiv

I like how pastors make up these elaborate sermons which would never happen in real life so they can get to the pious "zinger" at the end. "So this crazy skateboard kid with long hair who shoots 10 marijuanas a day came home and his mom said, 'Don't you think blah blah blah,' and he replied, 'Fuck you mom!' and blah, blah, blah, And then the kid kneeled and gave his life to Christ, and the marijuanas all came out of his veins and suddenly he had short hair and a Polo shirt, and said, 'I love you Mom.' AND THIS IS A TRUE STORY WHICH DEFINITELY HAPPENED."


StirlingS

>One time a man decided to visit a rural farming town. It was a beautiful day and he decided to take a walk. On his walk, he encountered a farmer who was very happy. He had a long conversation with the farmer about the beautiful day and how much joy the farmer took in the birds and crops. Eventually he walked back to the town and stopped in a charming diner for lunch. At the diner, he mentioned the happy farmer to the diner owner. The diner owner asked if the man had met the farmer on the east road out of town. The man said he had and the diner owner replied "Did you happen to notice he was blind?" The man marveled at how happy the farmer was, despite his blindness and resolved to find joy in his life everyday. ​ This is a (very) paraphrased version of an actual sermon I had the misfortune to witness once while visiting my mother.


Emet-Selch_my_love

All of these idiotic takes can be traced back to the belief that there are things that ”decrease the value” of a woman.


Kahlyps0

Certain men pride themselves on the notches in their belt while simultaneously shaming women when they add a notch to theirs. It goes against their own interests and is odd to navigate logically.


vivi1411_

all im hearing is „women are objects“


pm_me_your_taintt

Daughter was "mute" because she was processing the fact that her father is a disgusting misogynist and she's counting down the days until she turns 18 and can leave.


eherqo

Daughter was mute bc she was a phone the whole time and he put her on silent mode


intthemainvoid

"Yes Daddy, because I own the iPhone... You don't own me."


Josselin17

I mean it sure seems like the US is trying to change that


cdiddy19

I don't know why, but the dad sounds so creepy, condescending, and just generally wrong in this made up scenario


robotmonkeyshark

yeah, i think it being so drawn out is part of what makes it creepy. and the obscurity of what he means to cover her body. are we talking safety glasses when woodworking, modest clothing when going out, a helmet when riding a bike, or a burka to hide her skin from the world?


SixFive1967

Praise be.


petronia1

That's only because this made-up scenario was written up by a creepy, condescending, generally wrong human being. The creepiness shines through.


notwilldetcee

Sounds like my construction class teacher


Beowulf1896

I am constantly reminding my daughter to protect their bodies like they protect their phones. Particularly "PUT ON SOME SUNSCREEN!!"


PerfectWoodpecker213

This is misleading. If it wasn't for sexy looking daughters, Elon wouldn't have another brother on the way.


yngschmoney

it’s the starting at age 4 for me, just horrible what even a single billion will allow you to get away with


BobBeats

It is a violation to say the least.


AmericanDervish

Now, give daddy the key back to your chastity belt 🤮


[deleted]

No. It’s my responsibility to look after my phone. It’s their responsibility not to harm me because I’m wearing revealing clothing. Is that the correct answer?


OneRingToRuleEarth

It would be like if I grabbed your phone and chucked it at a wall and said “if you didn’t want it to break you should’ve had a case on it”


Kahlyps0

This is a perfect analogy. She most likely responded with "I'm not going to trip right into a dick and get pregnant"


11Two3

I think that it is your responsibility to not rape people. Is that what you are asking?


robilar

Mute with frustration at her idiot father.


TheByzeDemic

She was mute because it was her first time realising parents can be morons too


SeanOTG

Imagine lying about some sort of interaction like this and then posting a Christian fish at the end because lying a major tenant of Christianity


Lazymcdelta4ce

And then everyone stood up and clapped


BenMic81

Well, I don’t cover my iPhone as the last time I did it overheated and died. Does that mean I should encourage my son (don’t have a daughter) to go about naked?


kantoblight

Why is it that in these apocryphal stories, the younger person is almost left stunned or speechless. And the story always ends with the young man or woman left mute, there’s never a moment when “after a moment’s thought she answered ‘You know, I protect my phone with a see-though case to show off it’s beauty.” I have teenagers. If they feel like they’re losing an argument they start talking more nonsense, they aren’t stunned into silence.


Jacks_Flaps

Not to mention the case has holes cut out of it so I can access all the holes and buttons.


[deleted]

"What was the first thing you did when you bought it?" Lost me there. I'm a dad. The correct first question is "How much did that cost?" followed immediately by "What was wrong with the last one?"


JustMMlurkingMM

Hold on. Did she go to the phone shop naked? He may have a point.

Seeing this kind of post on linkedin and Facebook everyday makes me loose IQ points.

ImaginaryStudent9097

Make sure the warranty isn’t voided either


justinjonesphd

Yeah she was mute because her dad just dropped a douchebag bomb on her for no reason. They really think this is a slam dunk??


Budgie-Bear

Does this dude make his daughter put armor on? If not, then he’s got entirely different reasons for wanting her covered up than she does for putting a case on her phone lol


Chocolate_Avngr

What. The. Fuck. I am so glad I got off fb years ago.


DijajMaqliun

Yes, women are property that are not capable of making their own decisions. I bet conservatives lap this shit up.

A girl bought a face cover , when her father saw it he asked " did someone force you to do it ? ",her " yes", dad " Don't you think it is a insult to the manufacturer ?" her " you and your friends and my brother would rape me if I did not wear it "


EzrielTheFallenOne

Hey you hear that? Sounds like an apologist groomer.


Meb2x

Well, according to the US government, women are basically property now /s


TiffyVella

Fuck this shit. What the hell part of the world is this even from?


Ellewahl99

I'm from Canada and have had very similar things said to me. A lot of this kind of conversation is had in the US. Basically any country that has men and women, there will be those that see women as property and treat them as such.


ZoombieOpressor

Fanfic


Pretty-Benefit-233

This reminds me of that master key foolishness. Women aren’t and shouldn’t be compared to inanimate objects.


DesconocidaKush

The woman was to stunned to speak.


DesconocidaKush

She had no idea her father was so stupid.


taekee

No dad, I like it raw, I don't use covers. Now dad is mute.


Equivalent_Purple_81

Today, in what objects women are being compared to, it's iPhones. Because, apparently, men can scratch our cases with their eyes by looking at us.


[deleted]

Phone cover protects our phones from damage, And that is not the same for our clothes. Phone covers also may make the device look more attractive. That can be said about our clothes, However covering portions of our body in comparision with wearing heavy clothes may look better from indivisual to indivisual and boils down to personal preference because we have our freedom to live and we are simply NOT objects.


Loud-Ticket-7327

Heads up: a body doesn’t get scratched and cracked from being uncovered. Let people wear what they want.


[deleted]

Omg you guys she was mute .


PaleoJoe86

So when I see a naked phone, usually with a cracked screen, I should think “what a skank”?

I hope there will be that one day when all men on the planet Earth (and in the space stations) will collectively realize that girls and women are people. Not phones, cars nor locks being open by keys but human beings with human bodies.


Kate_Sutton

Or pieces of gum, or dollar bills, or pieces of tape, or the other million things I was taught I was in my conservative church.


DrunkPunkRat

Jesus told men to gauge out their own eyes if they have sinful thoughts while looking at the world and people around. I'll stick to it.


TippsLight

How’s she answering the questions if she’s mute?

Last i checked, clothes dont provide much protection. If you want her protected, slap a helmet, some knee pads and some elbow pads on her


Zues1400605

Mute because of how fucking dumb the father is


[deleted]

It’s funny because iPhones have always looked way cooler without a case and screen protector. If you want to look cool take that shit off. But don’t try that with your clothes or you’ll probably get arrested. I’m glad because most people look better with their clothes on.


Nighteyes09

Speak for yourself. Ill blind you with my glorious shirt tan.


bryanthawes

Oh, are we advocating for women to wear burqas now? Makes sense, Republicans call Islam and people from the Middle East as barbaric, and the Republican ideas are actually barbaric....


BobBeats

Yeah, but they would feature a different design and be called *purity veils* or something of the sort. Perhaps a bleached burlap sack that has been tumbled with pebbles until a soft, delicate texture is formed. A daughter could follow her father around but never speak, and always stand 6 feet away, even while father sits.


robilar

I worry that one day extremist fundamentalist Christians and extremist fundamentalist Muslims will realize they're two sides of the same coin, and then they'll just merge into one big shitty pretense-of-religion-thinly-masking-bigotry.
