re: Fathers of Daughters - Anyone ever lost one to woke feminism

All 3 of my daughters are Trump supporters, with two of them old enough to vote for him in the last election. My oldest niece, however, is a lefty. She hasn't gotten to the point of not being able to have a relationship with, but you just know to stray away from those topics with her. She was fine until she went into the Air Force and became indoctrinated while serving in our Armed Forces...

Just have sustained and healthy communication with them. Create some cognitive dissonance with what the world wants her to think a conservative dad is and what you are. But be present and don't use being conservative as the end all solution to being a good dad. There is a lot of crossover between being conservative and a good dad but in my experience being a good dad takes a lot more work that being conservative

All 3 are MAGA (by their own choosing). Blessed, I hit the trifecta !

My oldest daughter was a conservative country gal. Then she married a leftist and now she's lost. My youngest is 16 and loves Trump, is Christian, and absolutely abhores the "pronoun" crowd. Oddly enough, she has purple hair. I asked her why she wanted purple hair and she just said "I like to be colorful". We went ahead and let her because she's homeschooled and otherwise very grounded.
I never thought I'd let one of my kids color their hair like that, and at first I was opposed. Then I thought about what happens to kids if you clamp down to hard, so I ended up giving the go ahead. That was a year ago and she's still the same Christian conservative she's always been.
She's decided she wants to be a mortician which means she'll have to attend college, but mortician schools (funeral science) are more like trade schools than college unless you send them to a public university for it, which we won't.
So to answer the question, I did poorly with my oldest, and well with my youngest.

No because I raised them right and have t hid politics from them. They’re both are highly intelligent and see the left and the woke mob for what it is.

We have raised three. All are conservative. Two engineers and another is studying accounting. Proverbs 22:6

Any stories about conservative Christian girls going to the lion's den and coming out alive to help ease my worries?

My daughter went semi-woke pre-Covid. Not full on crazy woke, but just enough liberal to piss me off. She was hanging around some weird kids in High School, so we pulled here and sent her to Baylor in Chattanooga.

At the time, I wrote it off to teenage rebellion. After HS, she gets accepted to Swarthmore, and here is where it gets really interesting. On her first Christmas break, out of the blue, asks me to teach her how to shoot a pistol. Next she wants me to take her deer hunting, and she kills her first deer.

By her junior year, she has changed almost 180 degrees in her politics. So I asked her what was the reason, and shockingly, she said 2 things. First she told me that we (Mom and I) never got preachy when we discussed politics, but that we constantly challenged her with logic and never made her feel bad for her positions.

And here is the funny thing. The whole "Queers for Palestine" a few years ago sent her over the edge, where she saw the hypocrisy of it all.

In the end, I think she ran into real liberals up north and ultimately decided that these people completely diverge from how she was raised.

So, moral to the story? Love them, and be consistent, regardless of politics.

One guy flat out told me, "I spent 50K to put her through college and now she can't find a job, hates her family, has blue hair, tons of tattoos, and won't talk to us. We have no clue why"

He doesn't care to find out. He only sees things from his perspective.
She didn't just leave and return differently. It started before that.

My 21 year old daughter is very much a common sense thinker

Makes Straight A's

I don't worry about her other than the nut jobs running around this country might try to harm her

that's my biggest fear
