I do not know what to make of this article. It’s either in jest (poorly done) or just mean.

I was confused and then disinterested. I just scanned like the second half of it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Whatever you were going for with the tone and voice of this article did not work.

In what world is that reasonable? It is an act intended to humiliate someone. No one should intentionally humiliate their children. If you think this is reasonable discipline, I hope you aren’t responsible for any children.

Unless dad is a barber, no, he has no reason to touch her hair. She’s 13, that’s old enough for a child to decide their own hairstyle. This was done to abuse and humiliate her, even before he uploaded it to youtube. I’m glad there’s attention on him now and I hope he gets punished by our judicial system. He won’t…

You need to take a walk, maybe go for a soda, think about what you’ve said.

I weigh about 135 now and I am one of those girls who wants to lose 5 - 1olbs....let me tell you why!

Cutting off your daughter’s hair is not disciplining or criticism, are you even real? Do I need to call CPS on behalf of your children?

Errrrrr...Serena Williams is one of the greatest athletes ever to walk the planet and is a solid wall of muscle. I don’t think her 160 lbs is comparable even in the slightest to Amy Schumer’s or Christina Hendrick’s 160 lbs. They are all beautiful women but...that comparison is nonsensical.

That's your takeaway? That abuse should stay private. Huh.

That is what he wanted. To give her a hard time and put her on the spot. He knew she could be mocked and embarrassed at school. This is taking emotional abuse to the extreme.

In today’s world publicly shaming your own child will almost always lead to bullying.

I just read through the comments section of the Tacoma Stories link and someone fairly close to the situation said that her father had threatened to put her up for adoption. If this is true, coupled with the hair cutting off incident, it paints a picture of an abuser who should be in jail.

She’s fabulous and I also love her specificity because otherwise it makes numbers seem shameful things... but to your point about 160 vs 135... putting a specific number on your bar where it’s bold or helpful to be open and cool about your weight is just as guilty of losing sight, no? Because while you may think…

Or how betrayed she would feel that her own father, a person who is supposed to love and protect her, would become a bully too? She must have felt like absolutely no one would support and protect her. How terribly sad.

If she was being bullied at school, it makes it so much worse that her own father would do this to her. Did it never occur to him that those same bullies would see this and use it against her? WTF!

I hear you. But I’m one of those women who weighs 135 pounds and wants to lose weight because I’m barely 5’2. For me, 135 pounds is about 10 pounds past where I feel comfortable.

How about we just say that no matter what you weigh, you are free to want to lose weight for whatever reason or you are free to be like fuck yeah, I’m good just the way I am. I mean yeah, it’s refreshing to hear that (as someone who is super tall and weighs more than that as a result) but lets not hate on our 135…

Just tell them they’re not that attractive and you don’t know who let them talk. Maybe if they were hotter you would listen to their opinions.

Yeah! How dare women who weigh less than you want to lose weight for whatever reason! They make me sick too.
