A father switched to wearing swim briefs, aiming to model changing gender norms for his daughters while promoting body positivity and healthy lifestyles. After overcoming past issues with disordered eating, he expresses pride in his body and wants his daughters to view him as healthy and active, despite potential critiques. He questions societal expectations regarding swimwear for men and women, desires to normalize various behaviors for fathers, and highlights the challenges of finding suitable swimwear for children.
"Why are women expected to wear barely-there suits - I'm talking full-on thongs at the children's water park - while men get mocked for wearing form-fitting ones?"
"I am reclaiming speed, function, and thigh freedom for the dads," he wrote in his Substack.
