On a day just like any other, @SINice posted an innocent tweet about his confusion as to why a father would paint his daughter’s toenails, when she has female relatives. He isn’t a father, so it’s almost understandable that he’s confused, but misogyny was just written all over this. Do you think that Twitter cared about him not having children?
In proper clap-back fashion, Twitter blew up his mentions with anti-misogynistic parenting lessons.
Exhibit A: the tweet that got class started
I just don’t understand this personally. Why would I do this for my daughter when her mama or aunties can? pic.twitter.com/ZmDqTpTSvw

Some questioned the logic behind his thinking
@SINice WHY?! WHHHYYY?! Do y’all niggas make post these like and then say it ain’t about masculinity when it CLEARLY IS!!!

@SINice If your 3 yo daughter walked up to you with a bottle of nail polish and said, “Daddy will you paint my nails?” you’ll say no. Why?

@SINice @tiersaj if ur comfortable in your masculinity I don’t see why u would care…

Others opened his eyes to the reality that not all daughters have mothers
@SINice what if hes a single father? wouldnt you want him to make his daughter feel like a girl? he has to take on the mom role if she aint

@SINice maybe if you’re the only one in her life? Or she asks for you personally 😂

The patient ones gave examples of how real parents parent
@SINice It means something to her. Why not bond with her in the way she prefers? I dgaf about legos, but I still play with my son.

@SINice if my son asks me to walk him to the men’s bathroom, guess where I’m going ?

Not before getting to the real reason why this is necessary
Cuz you the 1st man ya daughter will ever love.. Set the tone for how she should be forever treated https://t.co/yVYLgT5K36

Because what’s the point of being a father, if you’re not here for father-daughter duties?
@SINice Because she wants you too?

He’ll probably never question fatherhood on Twitter again.
