Girl Dad

“Girl Dad” is a term used to describe a father who has daughters and takes pride in his role as a father to girls. It often signifies a positive and engaged parenting style, emphasizing the father’s active participation in his daughters’ lives and supporting their interests, growth, and well-being. The term gained popularity on social media, particularly after a viral moment involving NBA player Koby Bryant, who proudly referred to himself as a “Girl Dad.” It represents a broader cultural celebration of fatherhood that encourages affection, support, and advocacy for daughters, and challenges traditional notions of masculinity by promoting vulnerability, emotional openness, and involvement in parenting.
