Does anyone else find the song Stealing Cinderella creepy as fuck?

I am very fond of that song, though this is the first time I've seen the video for it (ditto the song that's the suibject of the post). Another thing I've noticed is that songs by male artists who have daughters, though often having a paternalistic feel, lean more towards stating that the father will always be there for the daughter, no matter what happens in life. A lot still have an underlying paternalistic vibe where it seems that mistakes wouldn't have been made if she'd listened to her father (but that's frequently true regarding both parentsd in fiction, and, well, kids would get in a lot less trouble if they listened to their parents sometimes) but are generally much healthier and are more likely to portray the daughters as people than as objects to be passed from one man to another, or requiring a caretaker.

That reminds me of the fact that senators - even controlling for party affiliation - vote pro-choice more often when they have daughters.

I suspect that has more to do with the perception (largely right) that even women who are opposed to abortion because they believe it's murder will respond more positively to a pro-abortion stance than an anti-abortion stance as the people in office making anti-abortion stances and on TV talking about abortion are rarely coming from where most people are than on pro-abortion beliefs of the politicians themselves.
