It's a website produced mainly for a female audience. You have a bit of the fallacy of the excluded middle problem going on there friend. It can be both, but some people may want to focus on the effect on a subset of the total population. And that's ok.
That is okay, I just wish it were phrased differently. “For some of us” would IMO have meant the same thing, given the readership and writing staff of Jezebel, without the undertones. It feels infantilizing towards women and unintentionally sleazy to me (like someone saying “daddy’s little girl” about an adult: it’s not purposefully sexualized, it just seems gross to me) as is.
Did you read the article? They actually address this and say that many men feel this way too etc.
My issue was with the headline only, it just squicks me out
There's a strong all lives matter vibe coming off your comment here
I see that, but it’s more that I’m taking it as a paternalistic thing (literally) that’s only being applied to women.
Seems perfectly appropriate coming from a feminist news site on a feminist sub. If you think these women want to fuck their dads or something based on that wording, I think that's more on you than Jezebel.
That or it’s telling me that even as an adult, I still need a dad, but somehow men don’t. It doesn’t feel very feminist to me.
I agree it's needlessly gendered. I'm a grown man and I'd kill for a dad like Waltz.
Oh, I definitely wish my dad were more like Walz, I just can’t bring myself to send my sisters any of the memes because they’re all specific to women and I don’t want them reading anything into it.
