That survey result has very little to do with the assertion that there is such a social pressure. All it implies is that respondents think it would be nice if there were.

- dragonwriter 5y ago> Would any parent have thought that 50 years ago? Yes, not only was parents doing that recognized as common-but-not-dominant thing 50 years ago (as a near-50 GenXer, I was aware of it existing and being perceived by adult society that way as a kid), it was even before that a popular media cliche leveraging a social trope that it was a real if eccentric recurring pattern (especially by fathers without sons toward girls) even earlier.
- cassianoleal 5y agoYou do realise that any steering parents apply to their children is social pressure, right?
- 0942v8653 5y agoMy point is that there might be unconscious biases at play in parents, no matter what they might respond to a survey. It's not feasible for parents to account for 100% of their behavior when it comes to something as unimportant as this. IMO, this is something that just can't be determined scientifically.
