This is pretty funny and not entirely tongue in cheek. The last stanza of his poem I took to be inclusive and not negative.

A Dad Gets A Standing Ovation For What He Says To Boys Who Want To Date His Daughter. Well Played.

When I was dating in high school I loved to meet parents like this. Always assuming I'm a rapist and abuser of their sweet angel descended from the heavens daughters. I never used to have the heart tell them what their daughters wanted me to do to them....wanted... as in she wanted something from me. Not I raped her, but she wanted it.

I'm sure my Dad wouldn't mind a quick "chat" with these Dad's who assume that he's such a poor father that he can't raise kids their way. Oh, and about your Daughter. She likes to be bent over the couch when you and your wife go to the store. I was young so it was quick, but fun. She still smiles at the memory Dad.

I know it's satire, but it's really getting old. I've actually met guys who think its OK to shoot a kid that their daughter wants to be around. So yes it's always couched satirically but there is an undercurrent of disrespect to men, fathers of boys and boys in general. Plus, my posts are always satire too.

You are aware this is satire correct? Parents like this do a huge disservice to their daughters...and it's not funny....and it's insulting to the boys as well.

The time to talk to children about dating and what to look for in a date starts well before the first date shows up at the door. Threats after the fact don't teach kids anything.

Hilarious!!!!! A little humor goes a long way. It in no way does a disservice to daughters...how could it be when it shows that your Dad cares about you and like I said, humor is a good thing.

Of course it's satire but there is an element of truth to everything in his poem. It's just couched in humor and a bit over the top.

My husband loves and adores his daughter....but he's never resorted to such tactics to let her know this. All this tells a daughter is that she's not capable of taking care of herself and making good choice....and that she needs someone to do it for her. Not a message that I want a young woman to have in any form.

This isn't really funny. Young women are given all manner of mixed messages...and stuff like this does not help.

When girls start dating, they need to know responsibilities of dating and how they should be treated by those they date....not Just to tattle and daddy is going to beat up the person if they ever make them mad.

The rate of teen boys being abused by their dating partners is slowly coming out as it's becoming less shameful for them to speak out. Tell me, are you comfortable with a mother threatening your daughter on her son's word?

Yeah, it's funny, but not in a good way. One day daddy with his glock and iron knuckles isn't going to be around anymore and it's sickening to think it is acceptable to promote violence to another families' child as a "punishment" to "hurting" their daughter--hurting usually being broken up with, which is not being "hurt" at all.

My daughter's boyfriend broke up with her (to the tune of fanfare including tears and girl drama) and I was livid with the boy...How could he break up with my kid, who I spent many years raising? But I decided to find out both sides of the story. The boy was an honor-roll student with a good family and a part time job, perfectly fine. However, it was my daughter who drove him away, sending him way too many text messages, saying "I love you" too soon and etc.

Sometimes it's not the boy who is the problem in adolescent relationships. Sometimes it's the girl...Shocking, right?
