Agreed, but he left out one important aspect. A girl that grows up with a father present is more likely to be a real pro at manipulating men to get what she wants.

"Daaaadie, can I......?" (Head tilt, hair toss.)

And is thus a much tougher target for the manipulative males who want only to get in her pants.

Aint this the truth. I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter who is astonishingly good looking (people stop us at the mall just to get a better look and have since she was a baby). She's already learned how to flirt with her eyes to get what she wants. I pity the guys she'll grow up with. They won't know what hit them.

(Of course daddy is mostly immune to this.)

I think you've met some of my daughters!

No, he didn't leave it out....that's not the kind of dad he's talking about. He's talking about a REAL dad, not a milquetoast, anything-my-baby-wants-my-baby-can-have kind of dad. He's talking about a dad with backbone and morals and the gonads to not crumble at a daughter throwing the Bambi-eyed "oh, daaaaaaadie, puhleeease" crap when she wants something.

But that's where Dad has to be firm and see manipulation for what it is.
