Being a dad has changed me.

I’ve stopped caring so much about myself, and funneled all that attention over to a new tiny human — my daughter.

People assume I’m some digital nomad hero who has a perfect family and never worries about a thing. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

While my daughter was born healthy and has zero medical conditions, the world she enters feels unhealthy.

Daughters groomed to hate their fathers

As an online business owner, I always stay close to venture capitalists. As a result an Aussie VC has become a friend.

He has two teenage daughters. The other day my friend tells me they hate their father. He is to blame for everything. And his wife agrees.

She’s even considering a divorce despite their decades of happy marriage.

As someone who’s technical, he took a peek at his daughters’ phones. The first app he opened was TikTok.

What he found sent chills down his spine.

They were watching short videos on TikTok about how fathers are to blame for everything, and how men are bad people.
