The article does not (quite) support the headline:

Parents only used a bit more negative and harsh tactics with sons than with daughters; a (small) difference that was consistent over the past 60 years.

It isn't clear how "small" or "large" differences were defined.

Also

However, the large differences that were found between the 50,000 parents that were included in this study could also mean that only a certain group of parents might discipline their sons and daughters differently; for example parents with highly traditional ideas about gender and the behavior that is appropriate for each gender.
