„Tak, tato!”. Daddy issues i toksyczna męskość

The main objective of the article is to analyse the so-called “daddy issues” and their relations to modern masculinity. Using feminist, queer and gender theories as well as some basic psychoanalytical tools, the author tries to dismantle the toxicity of both daddy issues and masculinity itself. Discussing a mainstream Hollywood film, a festival circuit film and a popular TV show, this article offers an insight into and a thoroughly critical perspective on one of the worst shadows of manhood, that is the father figure.
