He's also definitely NOT a State Daddy:

"The State Daddy is defined by collective responsibility, empathy and provision of social programs whereas Strongman leaders like Trump are self-interested, hyper-individualist, aggressive and seek to gut public services."

#NATO secretary Mark Rutte has made headlines for calling US President #DonaldTrump "Daddy" at the NATO Summit at the Hague this week. #Opinion #IllawarraMercury #StateDaddy
Trump is absolutely not daddy. Let me count the reasons
Actual state daddies do not act like this.

...That this term has been used overwhelmingly by men to refer to Trump makes explicit the homosocial nature of a homophobic administration."

Albo really talking up their "kind" and compassionate* approach to politics!

Get ready for the publication of State Daddies!!

I have been working on this paper since 2022, and am SO beyond excited that it will soon be published (Open Access) in Men & Masculinities!

Stay tuned. But for now, here's a preview from the proofs:

I also point out the irony of their use and embrace of this term:

"That a conservative and queerphobic administration is now borrowing language from the same communities whose rights it is actively working to erode is an interesting juxtaposition...

What is he then?

I argue that "as a patriarchal and authoritarian masculine protectionist persona who enforces obedience through punishment, Trump is a dominating and paternalistic authoritarian Dad.

But I guess this doesn't have as good of a ring to it as 'Daddy Don'."

Albo's concluding statement is literally channelling State Daddy - speaking about the ALP's platform of childcare, health care and aged care as well as centring women's issues and gender equality.

As the person who theorised "State Daddies", I need to firmly reiterate that Trump is NOT a Daddy.

His dominating, paternalistic masculinity is the antithesis of the State Daddy, which is compassionate, caring and inspires hope.
