Dads and Daughters

Dads and Daughters

Dads and Daughters is a lobbying group that seeks to remove media stereotypes that negatively typecast fathers and girls. In 1999, Joe Kelly and Michael Kieschnick founded the group, which has since attracted 2,000 members.[1] In 2004, Dads and Daughters lobbied Verizon Communications to remove an advertisement depicting a computer-illiterate father being reproved by his precocious daughter and scolding wife. Concerning the advertisement, Kelly said, "It's reflective of some deeply entrenched cultural attitudes -- that fathers are second-class parents. . . . To operate from the assumption that dad is a dolt is harmful to fathers, harmful to children, and harmful to mothers."[2]
