She didn't phrase the response very well by trailing off into 'cultures'. It's a fair point to say that girls are culturally taught to use their sexuality as a tool, and from an early age, but it doesn't follow that a father accepts it as sexual manipulation. That's where her argument breaks down; unless she thinks all fathers are incestuous pedophiles, which is ludicrous.
Surely, this man's daughters love him as their "daddy". This woman is suggesting something ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. I suggest that it is this woman who is "sick", rather than the gentleman she is accusing of being so....
I accept her theory to an extent. It IS just a theory but her argument isn't far removed from those of psychodynamics. What they didn't seem to understand was that she wasn't suggesting fathers were INTENTIONALLY teaching their daughters to flirt with their fathers but the flirtatious/suggestive/coy 'are you going to kiss Daddy goodnight?' conditions girls into manipulating men using their sexuality.
@iverglas Very arrogant aren't you? Do you want me to coutn the fallacies made in your commment?
Anyway what does marxist have to do with feminism? Nothing at all! Class in society is not the same a gender. Females have never been treated like a homogeneous class, so this makes feminist criticism flawed.
Feminists don't undertand patriarchy at all. I bet you are the typical spolied privileged middle class white woman. I bet you don't care about societies male underclass, do you?

@Andreox What an idiot. Kissing comes from a biological impulse.
