It's a version of the old (and, no longer accurate) joke: a mom knows her child's favorite foods, who their best friends and when their birthdays are, the names of their teachers, and their favorite crayon color. The farther knows some short people are living in the house.

Why is it no longer accurate? Maybe you meant to way it is not generally true, but it is certainly accurate as a description for my own family.

Gender stereotypes. I can't speak for the 50's, but all of the young parents, regardless of sex, that I've personally known in the past 15 years have been hyper-involved in their kid's lives.

I interpreted more as: (autistic?) men rarely make eye contact.
