Not sure. They seem very much related, but the rationale for parent-offspring conflict applies equally well to parents of either sex (any unit of parental investment gives the child twice the benefit that it gives the parent because the child has only 50% of the parent’s genes). See the original POC paper here, and a paper on genomic imprinting (also by Trivers) here.
