#which is that the girldad label fits him precisely because it's meant for characters like him

The important thing about Bruce Wayne is that when I call him a girldad I don't mean in a lets his daughter braid his hair way. I mean he would absolutely do that if Cass wanted but since that's not really something they're interested in he's more likely to pull a "take your daughter to an active crime scene and let her practice her detective skills" type of bonding activity. But more importantly he's a trainwreck. When Cass breathes near a boy he has a meltdown. He's not a girldad in an 'in touch with his feelings and comfortable enough with his gender to not let it get in the way of his bond with his daughter." type thing. I mean it instead as the type of dads who bought their kids soccer magazines and gave them their first beer and took them fishing and most definitely scared off all future boyfriends with a shotgun. She's his favourite son and any reminder that she is in fact a woman who will face different issues to him is always going to short circuit him a little. He's a girldad who will never ask what period products she uses or bring up the subject at all but makes sure he has a stack of all variations ready to go just in case.

He's the definition of a girldad. He tries so hard and gets so much wrong. He loves her and doesn't have a clue how to handle it but is convinced he's doing an OK job anyways. Whether he's right or not well... Read Batgirl 2000.
