Why do younger cohorts in advanced democracies hold more conservative gender attitudes? Rather than understanding these attitudes as a “backlash,” I argue that these represent mixes of traditional and egalitarian attitudes that ultimately reflect the gendered character of family policies. Using an original dataset of family policies, I show that policies which alleviate care burdens and encourage workforce participation of mothers are related to support for working mothers. Conversely, policies which reinforce traditional divisions of labor are linked to greaterprevalence of essentialist beliefs. Different combinations of family policies cross-pressure gender attitudes, resulting in complex groupings, or “varieties of egalitarianism.”

这是一个家庭（政策）事务：家庭政策和性别态度的异质性

为什么发达民主国家的年轻群体持有更保守的性别态度？我没有将这些态度理解为“反弹”，而是认为这些态度代表了传统和平等主义态度的混合，最终反映了家庭政策的性别特征。使用家庭政策的原始数据集，我表明减轻护理负担和鼓励母亲参与劳动力的政策与对职业母亲的支持有关。相反，加强传统分工的政策与本质主义信仰的更盛行有关。不同的家庭政策组合对性别态度施加了交叉压力，导致了复杂的群体，或“各种平等主义”。
