This paper provides evidence that daughters make people more left-wing. Having sons, by contrast, makes them more right-wing. Parents, politicians and voters are probably not aware of this phenomenon – nor are social scientists. The paper discusses its economic and evolutionary roots.

The paper ends with a conjecture: left-wing individuals are people who come from families into which, over recent past generations, many females have been born.

For another, my wife and I are firm counterexamples.
