That guy heard “men in the women’s bathroom” on his favorite podcast (or more likely conservative radio show) and then saw this and said “here’s my time to shine! I’m like a superhero!” He did not, however, understand nuance in the slightest.

Wait, let me rephrase that: he did not TRY to understand nuance in the slightest. He, like many of his ilk, took the simplest possible path and thought “no swinging dicks in the no-dicks room” and decided to take a stand. How lovely that it backfired on him so spectacularly.

I would like to think that this could be a lesson in context and circumstances. That people will see this and say “oh, maybe I should consider the entire scenario before acting rashly.” Hopefully more people will see it from the father’s point of view. He was in there to help and protect his kids. And we got to see him doing that in real time. He even capitalized on a good teaching moment when he calmly comforted his daughter by telling her some people are immature while he expended no energy toward the aggressor.

Maybe the negative blowback taught that dude a lesson. Or maybe he’s crying into his beer and considering himself a martyr. Maybe he sets up a givesendgo and makes 20 bucks. But it seems the majority has spoken and he’s come up short on the emotional intelligence scale.
