Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive. Flowing in every day, these data are added to the Wayback Machine after an embargo period. 

 I spotted this on a Facebook site styling itself “The Other 98%.” Dear Lord, I hope that’s not true. 
 
 What is wrong with this t-shirt? Besides everything? Let’s just list a few items: 
 
 1.) This father is abdicating his responsibility to put boundaries around his dating-age daughter until she’s mature enough to make good decisions on her own. We don’t let our toddlers alone near swimming pools and we shouldn’t let our teenage daughters and sons make their own dating rules. They will make bad ones because they don’t know any better yet. This is called “parenting.” 
 
 2.) By declaring that his daughter makes the rules and he is not responsible for her, he is signaling to every male predator out there that his daughter is available for victimization. Or as Barney Stinson says on How I Met Your Mother, “How would we get strippers if girls didn’t have lousy daddies?” This father is advertising his daughter to bad men. Boy Scouts will not be asking this teenage girl out on dates. Her fifty-year-old married schoolteacher will be. 
 
 3.) Feminist Father. Feminist? This word might have meant something brave and honest fifty years ago, but is now irrevocably associated with abortion on demand up to and including infanticide after birth, hatred of marriage and men, and a whiny victim status that desires complete equality with men unless they can’t compete, and then the rules should be changed. This is what this father calls himself, and he is evidently encouraging this attitude in his daughter. (Are you surprised he could even father a child?) 
 
 4.) The fact that this meme even exists is both pathetic and disturbing. Are such men so emasculated, so morally adrift, that they would actually wear such a thing? 
 
 Let’s hope it’s just a meme, and not an actual t-shirt. If I saw a man wearing it, he’d end up crying like a little girl, and nobody wants to see that.

 A photo of a dad in a “Feminist Father” polo shirt has gone swiftly viral on Tumblr, where it’s been liked and shared more than 196,000 times since being posted by the man's proud daughter on Sunday. 
 
 
 
 "He's very supportive of me and the decisions I make for myself; he cares so much about me and my passion for feminism," Kristine Speare, 20, tells Yahoo Shine through a Twitter message regarding her father, Chuck, a restaurant owner in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. "He completely agrees with the shirt's message." 
 
 
 
 The buzzed-about black shirt — available on Zazzle for $48.90 — is emblazoned, on its back, with the following warning: 
 
 
 
 “Rules for dating my daughter 
 
 1. I don’t make the rules 
 
 2. You don’t make the rules 
 
 3. She makes the rules 
 
 4. Her body, her rules 
 
 Feminist Father” 
 
 
 
 Speare, a part-time Burlington County College student who also works in her dad's restaurant, describes herself on Twitter as a “feminist, coffee addict, book lover." She is fond of posting playfully empowered selfies, tweeted several messages using the popular #YesAllWomen hashtag, and offered this thought recently: “How does what I do with my body in any way affect you? Oh right, it doesn’t.” The image of her dad in the shirt was retweeted by Caitlin Stasey, an Australian TV star known for her sexually-themed tweets, whose 39.5 thousand followers no doubt helped boost Speare's image into going viral. The two had following exchange: 
 
 “@caitlinstasey: @kristinespeare that's your dad!? Awesome, wonderful, touching, awesome” yes! He is a very proud feminist father 😊 — Kristine Speare (@kristinespeare) June 15, 2014 
 
 The image also got a lot of mileage from RH Reality Check, which posted it to its Facebook page, inspiring more than 14,000 likes and 20,000 shares. There were several critics in the mix, with one noting, “What a terrible way to parent. Kids need rules and boundaries set for them.” That was reminiscent of a January story posted on conservative opinion website PJ Media, in which a columnist, who saw an image of this shirt on Facebook, railed against its message, calling it "pathetic and disturbing" and "signaling to every male predator out there that his daughter is available for victimization." 
 
 
 
 But a great many of the Facebook commenters were supportive of Speare's father this week, including a dad who chimed in with this: “My 16 year old's new boyfriend the other day asked my permission to date my daughter, and I told him basically the same thing. I trust her to do the right thing, and she trusts me to back her up.”

– A change of pace from the dad-waiting-up-with-a-shotgun stereotype: A photo of a New Jersey dad wearing a feminist T-shirt has gone viral, with many expressing support for its message. Kristine Speare, 20, gave her dad the shirt—which details "rules for dating my daughter," including "she makes the rules" and "her body, her rules"—for Father's Day, then posted a photo of it to Tumblr, where it's been liked and shared more than 200,000 times since Sunday. It quickly spread on Facebook and Twitter, too, where fathers celebrated its point, Yahoo Shine notes. Others, however, have taken a different stance. "What a terrible way to parent," one comment reads. "Kids need rules and boundaries set for them." Earlier this year, Bonnie Ramthun at PJ Media called the shirt's message "pathetic and disturbing" and "signaling to every male predator out there that his daughter is available for victimization." A self-described feminist, however, Speare isn't concerned. "He's very supportive of me and the decisions I make for myself; he cares so much about me and my passion for feminism," she says of her dad, Chuck. "He completely agrees with the shirt's message."
