Note: About 'approval'.. I don't think it's the best word or aspect to focus on; in most cases, it's really not for a man to 'approve' of anything. And while he may not fully 'approve' of someone else's choices, that's not actually really relevant - and sometimes, not appropriate or simply not his place to 'disapprove', or at least to voice his 'disapproval'.
What actually does matters is if he would support her choice whether or not he personally 'approve'. It's
not up to him to provide or withhold 'approval' about choices in
her life)
Wife yes, daughter no.
I have nothing against escorting as a profession, but I just dont see it as a possible career path for my daughter as she's never going to have sex with anyone.
LA LA LA LALA.... I'm not listening... LA LALA LA LA... Can't hear you!
lol I can totally understand that response and it's why the question doesn't really determine anything. Because obviously most, if not all men are not too keen on thinking of their daughters' sexual lives so it doesn't say anything about how they feel about sex work because it could just be a protective father thing.
Regarding their wife, though, if they see escorts and are still married, then being against the idea of their wife doing sex work is actually totally hypocritical. If it's acceptable for themselves, then the same should apply for wives or girlfriends. I can't think of any possible valid excuse to justify the double standard. Not wanting their wife or girlfriend to be having sex with anyone other than themselves while they are having sex with several women other than their wife is pure hypocrisy (no offence, guys, but it is hypocrisy):
I may hobby and I think some of the ladies on here are great people, but a big "unlike" for my daughter and of course, wife to be escorting
Now, what should have been asked too is whether they would 'approve' of a female friend or cousin, for example. His answer to that scenario might also be revealing. If he answers again with a thumbs up, then quite possibly it's due to him being overly protective of any woman he knows and that his interactions and relationships with all women are based on that old, outdated but very much still prevalent, '
Madonna/Whore complex', which separates women into two 'kinds'- which is also hypocritical, a double standard and quite frankly, it's pretty sexist and paternalistic (not to mention pretty insulting, fuck-you-very-much!). And honestly, he needs to grow up, deal with it and get over it.
ESPECIALLY if he is himself seeing escorts!!
Placing women
in these categories doesn't make any sense either because OBVIOUSLY women you believe to be in the 'whore' category would simultaneously be in other men's (fathers, brothers, friends etc) 'Madonna' category - which makes no sense because the whole point of taking the perspective that women are either one or the other is that they can only be Madonna or Whore. So who is right then? I
In that sense, while I can understand a father being uncomfortable or worried about his daughter making this choice (and we could interpret this as 'disapproval'), unless she is still a minor, it's not his place to 'disapprove'. I think it's understandable that he might voice his concern and reasonable that he may not explicitly 'approve' but he should nevertheless be supportive.
His other option is to freakout, 'disapprove' and try to force her or convince her to change her mind by being controlling and shaming her - which can backfire whether he's successful in getting her to change her mind or not. Not to mention it would damage her trust in him and essentially be like telling her that unless she does what he approves of, she's on her own and can't count on him anymore..which really isn't much of a real father/daughter relationship, if you ask me.
(That said, if she doesn't tell him herself but that he finds out anyway through other means, whether he personally 'approves' or not, pretending he doesn't know is not the best way to go either. Eventually if she does learn that he has known for some time yet never brought it up, it might make for a really awkward, uncomfortable and pretty odd relationship and conversations. Take my word for it: REALLY awkward. lol Just sayin' haha
