Not only is the daughter effect statistically significant, it’s substantively large. They found that overall, “compared to those with no daughters, parents with all daughters are 14% less likely to identify as a Democrat….[and] 11% more likely to identify as a Republican than parents with no daughters,” they write in the journal Sociological Forum.Pew Research via Breitbart tweet
The daughters effect is considerably stronger among better educated and wealthier parents, they find. But among those farther down the socioeconomic ladder, it weakens to statistical insignificance.

As the father of one child, a daughter, I totally get this.
Daughter born in 2001
Daughter born in 2003
Daughter born in 2006
Son born in 2009
Husband has always been a conservative; I was a strident leftist until the kids and real life experience started accumulating and causing me to reexamine that which I thought I knew. The candidacy of Barack Obama was the nail in the coffin.
I consider one of my most important roles to raise my daughters to be aware that there are other approaches to life than the leftist "feminist" bullshit that others will try to convince them is the truth.

Sounds more like smart people vote R.
Maybe more like T, any more.
It should be noted that if you sexually abuse your daughter, you're more likely to fall on the left of the political spectrum. See Woody Allen and Daniel Ortega. There aren't many conservative child sex abusers.
