在这篇文章中，作者认为，生女儿有可能使父母对性别平等问题更加敏感。因为父母在他们的孩子身上投入了大量的精力，他们的孩子所面临的预期和实际的困难，以及解决这些困难的公共政策，都变得越来越突出。我们发现，当父母只有女儿时，父亲和母亲对旨在解决性别平等问题的公共政策的支持都会增加。这一发现在男性身上更为明显，表明养育孩子可能为社会变革提供了一种机制，即父亲与女儿的联系削弱了他们对父权的承诺。与此同时，当男性只生儿子时，他们对性别平等公共政策的支持程度最低，这表明，想要给孩子最好的东西，可能会阻止男性挑战他们的父权红利。
In this article, the authors argue that having daughters has the potential of sensitizing parents to issues of gender equity. Because parents invest a significant amount of themselves in their children, anticipated and actual struggles that their children face, and the public policies addressing those struggles, take on increased salience. We find that both fathers' and mothers' support for public policies designed to address gender equity increases when parents have daughters only. The findings are stronger for men, suggesting that child rearing might provide a mechanism for social change whereby fathers' connection with their daughters undermines their commitment to patriarchy. At the same time, when men have sons only, they show the least support for gender equity public policies, suggesting that wanting what is best for their children may keep men from challenging their patriarchal dividend.
