This is so sad. It is painful to see that a man expressing love for his daughter must involve assuming she is not very bright or observant and inevitably a victim. That he assures her in no uncertain terms that she will allow herself to be fucked over by beings with the upper hand and no moral compass is entirely pernicious. He would do a lot better by her to show some faith in her and her ability and right to make good choices. He would do better to throw off the nonsense that it is natural and inevitable for most men to behave this way and that women are under some sacred mandate to privilege “getting a man” above all else. He would do better to realize that all this is culture, not biology, that there is no real upside to any of it and that it can and should be changed. Of all the forms of “mansplaining” the most ridiculous is a man explaining men to a woman. We see you. You are not mysterious. And finally, while it is an old standby for a man to obsess over what they might say if asked, “Daddy, what did you do in the war?” I have never heard of a real child who asked that. I’m sure the author is a good fellow who means well but this kind of thing is no help, is pretty standard fare and is potentially quite damaging.
