Article body:
The "Mighty Girl" effect is the documented effect of firstborn, school-age daughters making their fathers less sexist and more aware of gender inequalities. The effect is only robust among fathers and driven by parenting school age rather than younger daughters, which is consistent with a social identity explanation. This effect is also known as the "first-daughterhood" effect.


 * Fathers who have first-born daughters are 11% more likely to support policies that support gender equity than those who have first-born sons. Mother's showed no significant difference in their support for the same policies regardless of the gender of their first-born child.
 * Democratic fathers who's first child is a girl had an increase in support for policies regarding gender equity by 9 percentage points. For Republican fathers, their support for these same policies increased by 15 percentage points. The difference between the two political parties is not significant.
