Absolutely. No one ever says to my husband, “Wow, you are so lucky! Your wife is such an involved parent. Does she have any sisters? And she knows how to cook too? Stop! Can we clone her?” It’s just assumed we do these things. No one’s going to hand us a cookie for doing our jobs.

Grenier’s best work will always be the Crazy music video.

Coincidentally I am just having a Facebook fight with a friend from college (as macho as they come) that has a toddler (girl) and posted a video of a father yelling at a girl for wearing a strapless shirt to school and forced her to wear a baggy track suit instead. I told my friend that that is not the way to deal…

I’d have the sam reaction you did. But why do we want to hug and applaud men for having discussions about their own children?

I really don’t think you’re as socially liberal as you think you are. For comparison’s sake, I wouldn’t consider myself as socially (or even fiscally) as liberal as many readers here (I was a Canadian Conservative until a few years ago), and yet, I don’t know what’s so difficult to accept here. Most doctors accept…

you just exposed yourself as a hateful bigot...your “transfusion” (trans confusion) proves how hateful you really are!

She never switched genders. Sex is not the same as gender. Problem solved. You’re welcome.

This is a you problem, not a Caitlyn Jenner problem.

Sometimes so-called “adults” are just oversized children who figured out how to put a penis and vagina together, and many of those are often completely psychotic.

I would add an addendum that says “And sometimes parents are just fucking psychotics who should have been banned from grinding their genitals together”, but I can’t edit that post anymore.

Yes - thank you! Threatening, shaming and bullying is not discipline.

Do you think that this guy was a stand up dad who only humiliated her one time? It’s virtually certain that what he did was in-character and a typical representation of his style of parenting. Fuck him.

“I was spanked as a child and turned out just fine!” Yes, except for your violent impulses towards your own children, seems you did turn out great. :/

I was shocked how many commenters here loved that video of the dad shooting his daughter’s laptop after going on a 5 minute screed about how awful she is. That shit was twisted and violent.

Totally. But they don’t have that insight.

I would argue that many of them that experienced it did end up being damaged, and just don’t know it. I would bet that the girl's father has some kind of past issues he is suppressing

This shit that parents do is straight-up abuse. There’s no other word for it. All sorts of people will come out of the woodwork to, if not defend this dad (because the outcome is undeniably tragic), defend other parents who do other shaming forms of punishment, like make their kids stand on busy street corners with…

The older I get, and the more stories like this I see, I am more convinced there is no god.

Oh my god. For anyone that thinks that hair cutting is not cruel, my mom force cut my hair when I was 10 and it wasn’t until I was in my 30s and had therapy that I could handle having it cut again.

Why the fuck would you provide the link to the video? Ugh.
