Instagram Dad Raises Daughters So They Can Recognize And Stay Away From Toxic Men (50 Pics)
Interview
There’s no excuse for treating women poorly. Unfortunately, the sad reality is that some people think that kind of behavior is ‘normal’ because they’re so used to it. One dad, however, is trying to make a difference by showing what healthy masculinity looks like.
Eric Taylor, @girldad_e, is a girl dad who is raising his daughters in such a way that they can recognize and stay away from ‘dusty sons’ (aka sketchy guys) in the future. They won’t tolerate any disrespectful behavior because her dad set such a good example of healthy masculinity. We’ve collected some of the digital creator’s tips for boys to become better men. Scroll down to check them out.
Bored Panda reached out to Eric and he was kind enough to share his thoughts on healthy masculinity, purpose, and stoicism. He also opened up about himself as a digital creator, husband, and parent. You’ll find our full interview with him as you read on.

I've heard a mother calling her daughter "dramatic" for hurting herself on the stairs and just ignoring her thinking she's could not actually be that injured.

I was told by my mother to 'control your hormones' when I'd get snippy. I never yelled, I just got really anxious, tense, and snippy, but non confrontation and went to my room. I've spent years reversing the damage; my feelings are valid. Also, in my 20's, I was diagnosed with PMDD.
I’mSoEmotional 2 years ago
I’m older and I remember my parents always referring to me as “the dramatic one’ or “the emotional one” and it always made me feel that there was something wrong with me for having emotions. They continued to do this into my adult years. I finally had a talk with my mother saying that having emotions is what being a human is all about and that they hurt me saying I was being dramatic when I was just showing normal emotions. Neither of my parents ever got it and consequently my siblings all grew up hiding their feelings, I still refuse to think people who show them are anything but great,
According to the founder of the Instagram page, Eric, healthy masculinity essentially boils down to health and purpose. “A man that has learned to understand and express his emotions without being controlled by them is on his way to real mental health. Understanding your feelings does not make men feminine, it makes them stoic and adaptable,” he explained to Bored Panda via email.
“The ability to communicate and be corrected without taking offense is essential to growth.” Not only that but men with a healthy understanding of masculinity understand their roles.
“Whether that's at home, at work, or with hobbies, knowing his ‘why’ gives every activity meaning and value. A man working with his ‘why’ is unstoppable.”

My father has no respect for women nor does he believe a woman can do a good job at pretty much anything. So he’s set it up that my irresponsible, almost broke, younger brother will manage my parent’s estate, instead of me who has a million dollars in the bank, He’d rather put a male in charge than a woman because of his antiquated beliefs.

When was it ever common? I don't remember older generations of men stepping up to do housework when their wives were sick. It was just expected that some other female relative would step in to do it. Any man who did step up would be relentlessly bullied and taunted by his colleagues and friends.

Stop calling your wife "wifey", that sounds like a put down. Tell your daughter that being called derogatory names is not ok. Call her mother mom if you can't say the word wife. If my husband called me wifey I'd punch him in the nose.

Bored Panda was interested in what advice Eric would give parents who begin recognizing the fact that their sons may be treating women poorly. According to the digital creator, it’s vital to recognize where that sort of behavior stems from.
“The ‘boys will be boys’ comment allows boys to get away with things from a young age and they usually learn it from a male they spend time around. It can come from a dad, an uncle, or a celebrity and is more often than not a learned behavior,” he shared.
Eric opened up to us about his own past as well. “I was raised on early 2000's hip hop with the likes of Lil Jon and the Ying Yang Twins, and besides ‘Dear Mama’ by Tupac, most songs were disrespecting women,” he said this is why it’s important for parents to monitor what their kids watch and listen to because “you are what you consume.”

Yknow most of these are great for literally any parent to do. Hope the wife is showing solidarity as well because how many of you out there wished your mom also got help? I know I do.
“Be proactive in teaching and correcting the behaviors. This comes down to the man and the woman in the house. A hood mama should NEVER be disrespected and both mom and dad should enforce that. My wife checks me when I'm not acting right. I check my kids when they are rude to their mother. It's on everyone to build up dust-free men.”
Eric first got his start as a digital creator a few years ago, mostly focusing on making jokes about his life as a dad. Eventually, he found a niche that mattered to him the most, so he wanted to focus all of his efforts on “being the best husband and father I could be and trying to spread the message that we can all be better.”
“Having an incredible wife and amazing daughters sparked the fire, and trying to make the world a better place for them keeps it burning bright. I owe my joy in this life to my wise, beautiful, strong, passionate, and hard-working wife,” Eric told Bored Panda.
“I was born and raised by a strong single mother who did everything she could to make my life great, and it has been. However, she couldn't be my dad. I never met mine but I knew that I would never let that hold me back from being what he never was: a great husband and daddy. So one of my mottos has become: be better. So let's be better men.”

I get the sentiment, but how many women have been in abusive relationships and been apologized to for their s****y actions just for them to do it again?
Sonja 2 years ago
Abusive guys are the prime examples for nopologies. They do not really apologize, by teaching girls how a real apology looks like, they will be able to discern when it's not. Especially when he sits down with them some day and explains the difference. I heard the BS such guys spawn. It's not a real apology. They never take responsibility, they never admit what they actually did wring, it's just empty phrases coupled with excuses why they couldn't do it any other way and not so subtle blame shifting. A real apology goes: I am so sorry for doing x, that shouldn't have happened. I will never do that again. Full stop. A nopology goes: I am so sorry to have hurt you, you know how I become when x happens! I feel so sorry to have caused you harm, you didn't deserve it, but I was just so confused, you know? I'm sorry, I'm sorry I made you feel bad! I will make it up to you but now please be reasonable and stop the drama. I did apologize!

He's definitely correct with this one-I'm sorry you feel that way isn't a genuine apology. A real apology explains but doesn't excuse what you did, expresses remorse or regret, offers reparation and a promise to do better. "I'm sorry I shouted at you and called you names. I was angry over something at work and took it out on you, and you didn't deserve that. In future I'll try to keep work issues at work" etc. I work in healthcare, and I'm sick and tired of our complaints department-any complaint is investigated, but even if there was sub-optimal care or genuine errors made, "apology" letters go out saying "We're sorry if you feel you didn't receive the service you expected" which puts the blame squarely on the complainant. It sounds like an apology, but its not.
María Hermida 2 years ago
Yes and no. Sometimes you act in good faith and do what you think is the right thing to do, and still the other person chooses to feel offended/angry/etc. You are responsible for your actions, not for other people's feelings. And yes, I do think people choose to feel certain emotions sometimes to manipulate others.

My parents had a system. Whoever gets home first from work during the week made dinner. The other made dinner on the weekend. We managed to be able to afford to go out for dinner on Fridays. Didn’t have to be expensive. But on the weekends, dinner needed to be pretty fancy.
During an earlier interview, psychotherapist Silva Neves explained to Bored Panda that toxic masculinity, at its core, is a general attitude and distorted ideas, “perpetuated by systemic misogyny.”
According to the mental health expert, toxic men very often have negative views toward women’s rights.
“A man with healthy masculinity is the opposite of these traits: someone who is self-reflective, embraces their emotions including sadness, anxiety and crying, a man who isn't afraid of their own femininity and believes that women are equal, and therefore are very clear about respecting boundaries and consent with women,” the psychotherapist explained.
He added that men who embrace healthy masculinity are more tolerant and feel comfortable when someone challenges their opinions.

I wish more adults were like this. It is never wrong to apologize to a child if you are in the wrong.
Digital creator and writer @girldad_e is all about setting a positive example for his daughters, being a good husband, and showing the world what healthy masculinity actually looks like. And it seems to be working. Eric has 184k followers on Instagram who eagerly wait for his freshest videos about being a strong, kind, and empathetic man who is in tune with his emotions.
According to the dad, far too many men are raised “thinking they gotta be hard, tough, feel nothing.” He writes in one of his Instagram posts that it’s important to acknowledge and express emotions: “How can we expect to understand anyone if we feel nothing? Stop lying and start crying my guy, real strength comes from knowing your limits, addressing them, and moving forward with love.”

And get boys familiar with periods and period products-teach them in a matter of fact way about it. Starting periods can be a difficult time for some girls, and they can become very self-conscious about it, worried about leaks, embarrassed about having to carry tampons or pads in their school bag, concerned that they'll miss out on their favourite activities, unable to play sports etc, and secrecy just makes them feel alone and scared, like they're unable to talk about it. The best way to demystify menstruation is to educate everyone about it, showing them its a perfectly natural bodily function that 50% of the population experience. My teen daughter and sons share a bathroom-they've all grown up seeing tampons sitting on the shelf, it doesn't freak them out or triggers them into playing stupid pranks, for them it's no different to other basic bathroom supplies like shampoo.

I never get why "men" are so put off by buying feminine products and necessities for your girls, be it wife, daughters, hell, even a sister!

Did anybody else immediately think "how did he make those giant doughnuts at home?"
Girl dad Eric is the founder of the dusty son movement, which emphasizes the importance of raising guys to be more respectful and considerate. He popularized the term after starting to film videos about it. In essence, it’s all about steering clear of toxic masculine traits that lead to ‘dusty sons’ and instead offering men a valid alternative—healthy masculine values centered around high emotional intelligence.
The term ‘dusty sons’ became so popular that it even inspired teacher and mother of two, Payal Desai, on TikTok. The digital creator teaches her son all about how to be a good, capable human being who steers clear of toxic masculine values.
The idea of raising kids so they don’t become ‘dusty sons’ has gained lots of traction elsewhere on the video-sharing platform recently, as well.

At its core, toxic masculinity is a collection of mentally and emotionally unhealthy values that have become normalized in some societies. Broadly speaking, men are expected to keep a tight lid on their emotions for fear of seeming weak or vulnerable. So crying or opening up about one’s feelings would be something that toxic men stigmatize while healthy, adjusted guys would embrace.
Guys are also expected to constantly compete with each other, dominate their social circles, and win at all costs. Not only that, there’s a certain assumption that men ‘should’ act aggressively and be inclined toward violence and risks. This is a very narrow definition of masculinity as a whole, as it leaves no space for genuine vulnerability and validating one's emotions.

That’s why it’s so important that boys develop the skills to do these basic tasks from an early age. They’re useful no matter what gender someone is. Everyone should be as self-sufficient as possible. Someone who embraces chores from an early age is less likely to think that they shouldn’t have to help out at home.

Always make the bed. Even if you are super depressed and no one else will know. When you make it you have achieved something, and even if you don't care, when you go to sleep, you will be happier.

Even if they’re not freshly laundered, smooth sheets just feel cleaner than wrinkled sheets do. So yes, always make your bed properly, don’t just throw a quilt over wrinkled up sheets and call it made. Invest in an actual bedspread, which forces you to smooth the sheets and pull the bedspread up over the pillows, then tuck it under the pillows and smooth everything out. I also always at least do a wash and brush up at the sink, if not shower, before bed, so I don’t put a stinky sweaty body on my sheets. They’re all good habits to have. Guys, if you bring a woman home, and she sees that your bed is properly made and doesn’t smell like sweat, it will impress her more than any of your bravado can. Bonus if the sheets match. have recently been laundered, and your home is also clean and smells good.

Dishwashers are a thing. Load it up toss a pouch of dish detergent in turn it on and you're good. No need to spend 2-4 hours at the sink doing it the hard way every day.
Toxic men wreck not just their social circles—they also harm themselves. Someone who’s raised not to show vulnerability won’t ask for help when they genuinely need it. So a guy who struggles with mental health issues or problems at home may be reluctant to reach out to a therapist. Not only that but ‘tough’ guys may also avoid going to the doctor when they need to. This only makes matters worse.

Maybe sometimes it is and they can always work together?
The best parents tend to embrace an authoritative style of raising their kids. They find a balance between setting—and enforcing—firm boundaries, as well as valuing good communication, openness and giving their children the support that they need. That way, their kids grow up to be very self-reliant, confident, curious, as well as open to discussions and cooperation.

When I run laundry I take the clean and dried stuff out of the dryer, put it in the basket, and set that basket in the clean spot. Each morning, grab clean from each, throw em on, and go. Socks work similarly but I have a fairly large supply since they're comparatively cheap; once a month I run out of clean ones so in they go.

Not exactly true, as the illegality pertains only to protected plants growing in forbidden areas. Flowers in the UK are protected under two acts: the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981 and the Theft Act of 1968. One may pick flowers if and only if the flowers not privately/government owned and the flowers cannot be rare or critically endangered. Even so, it's best to err on the side of caution. The fine is hefty: up to £5000 and may include imprisonment.

This isn't about strength, it's about chivalry, which is about the little things that show you care enough to protect your partner from possible danger. Actually, that's what a lot of these are about, showing that you pay attention and that you care and that you treat your partner as a person, and a valued person, more than it is about equality, et. al. If the idea of plain "equality" is all you're getting from this list, I believe that you should read it again with the idea of "caring". In fact, many of these could apply to any couple, it's just that women have been on the short end of the stick for so long, they're the most obvious topic.

Dang! You beat me to it. His appearance is quite similar, though one is a true man in a loving relationship, and the other is a scared little boy in a Romanian prison

The whole series is a response to the boy's moms criticizing modern girl. "Dusty" was used ad nauseam there too

I don't like the word "wifey" in this. It makes me think this is all just a pose.

I agree.... to be honest: all the posts feel like a pose: "look at me being a great emancipated rolmodel". Great emancipated rolmodels just are, they don't need to show off. I also find the texts rather aggresive. I'd hate to be his future SIL or DIL.

"Dusty son" and his faces have me ☠️☠️☠️. However, he comes across as pedantic every time he talks about food. I wouldn't be able to have my premenstrual cravings for s****y food around someone so self righteous.

Very nice dad but a lot of this works both ways........I taught my sons to be decent men , how to cook, clean and be emotionally balanced ....cry if they need, laugh lots and lots....do silly things just because.....tell and show the important people you love them , hug are amazing and kisses can be too it's not all just sex

Same here with my son. His dad helped with that too because his mom raised him right. Ba k when needed, he had no problem getting g me female products, he puts toilet seat down, cooks, dies dishes, etc. Our son's last serious gf wanted to "take a break" when life happened. I was so proud of him when he told her (and told us about it) in a real relationship, you don't take a break from your partner when things get difficult. You work your way thru it together, and pull their weight when they can't, and vice versa. I guess hubby and I set good examples of commitment. Our 32nd wedding anniversary is a few weeks from now. There are good men out there like my 30 yeat old son, Just gotta find them

I have a Son, and we raised him to be the man, I would want my Daughter to marry. BUT... SHE/HE had better treat him with the same respect he treats her/him with. (I really don't care who he loves)

That's how I raise my kids (boys and girls)... respect and courtesy is a two way street. You don't have to (and shouldn't) tolerate disrespectful behavior, but you also shouldn't be disrespectful. If they came to me upset and they were wrong, I called them out just as quickly as I would call out their partner.

Wouldn't it be a great plot twist if his daughter falls in love with a girl?
