You are the Man, Matt ...
Agreed. I would kneecap a guy who tried something if I had a teenage daughter! Here’s a clip from the show Family Guy that expresses the same idea......LOL

I laughed.
It could also be defined as previously you want to get some of what Baby represents, but now you have some. It’s a good struggle. It’s not the winning, but the struggle that sustains us.
Fatherhood does change every man, some for the better, some for the worse.
Can just speak for myself, was 21 years old when our first daughter was born. It then hit me like a ton of bricks, I was now responsible for this child.
Wife and I both came from hellish broken homes. When that birth took place, I swore that no matter what came, I would never abandon or mistreat our children.
I was going to make a comment about killing Patrick Swayze ... until it hit me that Jerry Orbach is dead too. Damn shame, both of those.
I suppose he’s going to have to be protective of a daughter with the last name Dicks.
LOL... you know, I never did get through this movie. But I remember watching Footloose a few years ago and thinking, “You know, the parents have a point about the dancing...”
Several years ago, I was called for jury duty. The attorneys were interviewing us prospective jurors. This was a date rape case involving two students at the local college.
The defense attorney was asking each of us about our background. When I said that I was a Vietnam veteran, former Marine and father of four children, three of them girls, he simply said,
“You are dismissed.”
Apparently he understood a father’s perspective.
As father of four girls, I know exactly where you’re coming from, and I’ve never liked Dirty Dancing, especially in the epilog she talks about her life after the events in the film, just another dimwit Berkley slut.
Why would a straight man watch that movie twice?
