Why are mothers more protective towards their son than their daughter? And why are fathers more protective towards their daughter than their son?
I'd be protective of both, but different "dangers".
Daughter, too many damn pedophiles. I can't even count how many grown men hit on me knowing damn well I wasn't even 13yrs old. Then if you look at sites like here, sooooooo many men "justifying" their attraction to children and pre teens.
And no, I wasn't even developed at all, hell, I'm still an A cup as an adult and I was a late Bloomer.
Son, gangs. My brothers have gotten jumped and I wanted to kill those piece of shit gang members.
I've gotten jumped before too but the danger is much more real for men. They can't even wear shoes the "wrong" color because of that.
I fucking can't stand gangs and the unnecessary danger they place on our youth.

I think each gender just looks at the opposite gender in a different way to their own. Girls say "well yea there a horrible guys, but my daughter will be smart enough to not follow them" and guys say "yes there are horrible women, but my son will be smart enough not to follow them" and they know from life experience how easy it can be to avoid bad people or relationships so tgey assume their son/daughter will do the same, but don't assume the opposite gender one will because they just see the vulnerability and also know how easy it can be to get into bad relationships.

Well, I think besides the mothers loving & wanting the best for their kids, I think their protective towards their sons cuz they want their sons to grow up to be respectable men & not get so caught up in girls & get a girl pregnant. I think the same for father's with their daughters, they don't want their young daughters to get pregnant & get caught up in all the media hype about women needing to be over sexualize by wearing skimpy clothes & etc. :)
just natural i think. something complementary to the elektra/oedipus thing.
every parent has it to a little extent , but for some its extreme. but in very rare cases i have also heard where parents dont even like opposite sex children because of general hatred towards opposite gender.

Parents are more protective about their opposite sex chhildren because they know first hand what ways and means their own sex (ab) uses.

Well I think that it's because mothers know some teenage girls can be spoiled and fathers know that most teenage boys are horny most of the time. Moms just want to protect their sons from getting hurt by gold digging whores while fathers want to protect their daughters from getting hurt/pregnant by players. I think it's a good thing to have a loved one of the opposite sex look out for you because let's be honest, both genders can be completely clueless about each other.

This is not the case , I'm a single dad , my daughter still gravitates slightly more to her mother , my son has never been " babied " by either of us. Boys tend to receive harsher treatment than girls from most parents , from my own observations.
-
Because they are trying to raise the perfect man and to do that requires he stay away from women. Same goes for Dads and Daughters.
-
Because when it comes to dating, the parents know how their gender thinks at that current time in life.
-
Because parents know what their gender is like, so they want to protect them from some of the more negative tendencies.

I've noticed that a lot too. Every woman in my family and every one of my girl- friends with children, baby their son way more than their daughters.
-
Because mother's think their son's are pussies and Father's see their daughter's as princesses.

They aren't. It's just a stereotype portrayed by television.

Because otherwise Unit-1 would not work with Shinji inside.
