In reply to the discussion: Dad taking his daughter to watch the Barbie movie is legend! [View all]Quixote1818
(29,171 posts)40. People seem to be forgetting the current climate
This Dad took a lot of grief for doing this if you look at many of the comments on the Facebook page it was posted on. He's getting applause by some for risking ridicule. That's what makes this different from all the wonderful people who do amazing things for their kids and don't get recognition. This took courage and a father comfortable in his own masculinity in a very hateful climate.

This is a 'feel good' video, and I choose to honor it in that manner, and not add any negativity
