Theory on social concern over women and children? Any suggestion

[Jang]

Hi dears, I am doing this paper now on second hand smoke on women and children, in a context where women rarely smoke but often exposed to smoke. The interesting is it seems society concerns women smoking/drug/alcohol from a totally different viewpoint than male. I remember there should be a plenty of feminism or social constructionism study on how society and policy emphasize the importance of women and children to be healthy, pure, to be protected. If men harm men is fine, but if men harm women and children they evoke moral decry. Can any of you suggest some papers or theory on that?
