"Don't be a cutie pie", "Relax - Relax", "Shhhh - Just be calm" [View all]

I'm a parent of two daughters.

If you have a sister, mother, wife, daughter, granddaughter, niece, or even just a good female friend, how could you justify or excuse someone talking to them like that?

As a father, I know EXACTLY the type of person who talks to women like that.

If I heard someone talking to my daughter like that, I'd punch them in the throat.
