Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple studies have shown that fathers are more likely to enforce gender norms and expectations on their sons, while being more permissive with their daughters. This is believed to be due to a desire to ensure their sons are "manly" and will uphold traditional masculine roles, while also protecting their daughters and allowing them to explore a wider range of behaviors.
