Two key phrases:
"But the difference only emerges when the children are teenagers"
"in both America and the Netherlands"
A third, unstated assumption: Data is post-1960s and reflects the feminist revolution.
Since contradicting feminist orthodoxy is heresy against the West's religion of Progressivism, no Hacker News reader is allowed to state the obvious reason for this phenomenon. I find this amusing, living in China, where I suspect the average person on the street could work it out from stereotypes in a matter of seconds, and would certainly have no qualms about baldly stating it.
Perhaps the US thalassocracy will be the first empire to successfully dispense with the need for female chastity ensuring paternal certainty as an incentive for men to invest in future generations. In which case, there is no reason the same speech code cannot remain in effect in the Anglosphere indefinitely. It is certainly not the case that its adherents are unprincipled self-interested self-deceiving conformists!
