Where did boomer and gen-x dad's go wrong raising their daughters?

Of course not all young women, but so many of them are anxiety ridden, mentally unstable, and very often far left in their politics. And in many cases the fathers if these same girls are often center-right to right wing in their politics and generally of a conservative disposition.
I think in alot of these cases, boomer/genX Dads are not spiritual leaders in any meaningful way. I think many of them lost sight of how they should be raising their daughters. I still see Dad's pushing their daughters away from traditional families and marriages, and wanting them to focus on college, career, sports. And of course the divorces, the broken families, the lack of providing any moral guidance. They may have provided the basics food and shelter, and financially for education and other activities... but basically no meaningful moral or spiritual support whatsoever.

College plus social media is difficult to overcome.

They give their children everything and don't let them earn it. The fathers are too busy at work keeping up with the Jones.

My daughter (no pics) mid 20s, is more right wing than I am. Lives in Houston, granted my son n law is also very right wing. They've both read JD Vance's book since he got picked as VP 
I"m not ver political, never posted here prior to Trump being shot. The day he got shot woke me up, and I guess you can say pumped me up. OP, there's millions of millennial/Xer girls that will still be voting Trump this election

I don't have kids but I'd imagine that with the influence of media and academia it's hard to maintain discipline without being able to take measures that are considered "abusive".

Daughter was living in another wing of the house in their McMansion.

Kids were surrendered to the school for 8hrs or so per day. Spent more time at school than with parents.

Women raised and educated the children of those generations from birth largely.
The problem is third wave feminism
Wiki - 3rd wave feminism
destroyed their self identity and told them to seek fullness through vapid materialistic things in the absence of love and a stable loving family unit and now they need medication and wine to fill the gaps where God, family and non transactional love should be in a fully actualized woman.
In their reasonable pushback against what was a discriminatory world, they destroyed the good with the bad and western civilization is falling because they don’t know how to fix it and the men who were raised as a byproduct of it are too non-confrontational to address the issues.

raise them right at home and church. 2 parent family.
and it is why mine are not allowed social media.
why mine are educated and do not fall for any BS.
my oldest and youngest cannot stand biden/left wing policies. we discuss policies all the time. all my family are right wingers because they are raised right.
shite parenting from millenials is what i see here in schools. no oversight. 1 parent homes. letting kids do what they want. no limits on phones or social media. hanging with wrong crowd.
OP is a dumb millennial thinking GEN X is to blame.

do what? you are fricking clueless.
so it is bad for a girl to get a degree in a field that makes money so she is not stuck with no skills and having to rely on some loser boy her whole life?
dude get out your bubble in the amish community.
my oldest was and my youngest daughter is a stud athlete and will use sports to get through school and get a degree.
tell me you have never raised girls without telling me.
tell me you have never seen grown arse women with zero skills stuck in a loser life having to depend on a man trapped.
wanting a girl to get a career does not equal being against marriage. or raising her wrong.
damn man you are dumb.

I have 2 girls, 1 adult (no pics) and one that's near adulthood. My oldest is slight left and my youngest is right leaning. Both are Christian.
Me and the mother are divorced but we are friends and both college educated conservative Christians.
My oldest daughter was very conservative as a teenager, then she married at the age of 23 to a guy that's left leaning (he's not a socialist) and she adopted his politics. My youngest daughter likes to talk about the bible and we don't let her on social media, she also thinks Trump is funny.
Oddly enough it was my youngest that was spoiled, not my oldest.

Divorce.
Too many are growing up in single parent homes. Fathers not around to show them respect for themselves and men. They don't see mom and dad in a loving, supportive relationship.
Then there is the affluenza and lack of parenting. People feel guilty about divorce because the children have "Suffered" so they ease up on discipline. Many times the single parent is just too worn out to battle her kids as parenting requires.

My daughter is fortunately seeing the pitfalls of progressive bullshite at an early age. Refuses to make pronouns for herself despite teachers pushing it and realizes the power that the mentally ill kids have over her and her friends.

no, not at all. maybe a tad bit strict at times but not abusive at all.
you just need to be firm and have structure. sports are great for keeping girls out trouble and helping them get to a school where they can have a career. teach them right from wrong. talk issues. educate them.

This.
Kids living upper middle class lives, having everything they need or want given to them find it hard to step down and deal with the real world. Normalcy is not good enough for them, they need exceptional from the start.

Not sure what the frick you are talking about by my 25 year old daughter (no pics frickoffs) undergrad and mba Pediatric pharma care job and is as far right as you can go. To the point of actually working with campaign to ensure grass roots vote unlike the complainers on here who do nothing but spew the same to people who will listen and already in same camp. Now move on.

Social media has completely warped the minds of Gen Z and Gen Alpha kids. Millenials we’re not affected by this
