The only thing more terrifying than having a child is having a child that’s not born a straight white male. The Onion asked conservative men how they are coping with the tragedy of having to raise a daughter, and this is what they said.
Conservative Men Explain How They Are Raising Daughters
Richard Johnson, Plumber
“I split up my days pretty evenly between telling her how much I wanted a boy and berating her for acting too much like a boy.”
Jason Ridgeman, Compound Leader
“All my daughters know if they toil hard they can become one of my wives someday.”
Frank Mejia, Chef
“If I’ve done my job, she will definitely be running away from home by age 15.”
Ralph Lindley, Security Guard
“I just tell her to never have sex and always do what men want.”
Phillip Jones, Shoe Salesman
“Every month I add another ox to her dowry fund.”
Alex Burkhart, Barber
“I’m raising my daughter to have a strong, well-proportioned body with good bone density. She will have long, powerful haunches and not spook easily. Together, we will go to Churchill Downs and win the Kentucky Derby.”

“Not sure. I’m hoping my wife’s raising her to give me grandsons.”
Jeff Mallwort, Limo Driver
