Prog Mother asks: Can we keep our son from Conservative Politics?
“Can we keep our sons from conservative politics?” That’s the question writer Kathryn Jezer-Morton posed in a recent column for New York Magazine’s The Cut. “In her son’s case, I wouldn’t bet on it,” New York Times columnist Ross Douthat shot back on X.
He’s right.
Jezer-Morton is facing an age-old conundrum of parenthood: Kids rebel against their parents’ politics. Except, in 2024, the classic trend is being inverted.
Progressive parents are desperately trying to keep their boys from becoming conservative, rather than the other way around.
Teens go against the grain, and the most rebellious thing a young person coming up in this ultra-progressive era — when left-wing politics are shoved down their throats by their schools, marketing campaigns and celebrities — can do today is swing right.
While Jezer-Morton’s concern that her 10- and 13-year-old sons are becoming “oppressors” before her eyes might be hyperbolic, she’s right that Zoomer boys are moving right.
A 2023 survey of 12th graders by University of Michigan found that, while American girls are headed leftward, their male counterparts are twice as likely to identify as conservative than liberal, as they tack toward a new, edgy kind of anti-woke politics.

Parents should be as apolitical as possible and not push politics on their children. I would also go as far to say that any woman whose last name is hyphenated has no business being a mother.
Furthermore, if American girls are becoming more left, then that must explain why so many guys are seeking women from other countries. Who could blame them? What kind of man would want to shack up with some raging, overeducated fembot who will make every effort to break their balls and throw them to the curb once they find a new dick to ride? I gave up on American women a long time ago. They're just punks with vaginas. They're loud, vulgar and ugly, inside and out. I think it's been years since I've seen a girl that I would consider fairly attractive and down-to-earth. I expect a big market for sex robots and online AI-generated girlfriends in the near future.
