I'm obviously in the minority here, but this song, quite frankly, makes me want to puke. "Oh, please, be careful with the poor fragile girls; they can't take being hurt the way boys can! And we men need them to be in good shape so they'll be willing to fuck us when they grow up!"
Mysogynistic bullshit, all of it. (And I say that as a woman who's been pretty well fucked up by my father, fwiw.)
@gravity_defiant NOOOO! that is not at all what I think he meant! I think he was saying, GOD DAMMIT FATHERS STOP LEAVING AND ABUSING AND HURTING YOUR DAUGHTERS SO THAT THEY ARE INSECURE IN ADULTHOOD! I mean COME ON!
I was lucky enough to have a father that stayed to secure me and keep me safe!

We can take being hurt, but he's telling the boys that the girl has already been hurt, so if you love her, why not take the pain for her?
If some fathers, like yours, were there to help us and comfort, would we be half as hurt? HELL NO!
