Commentary for Kiddushin 60:15
כל מצות האב על הבן וכו' מאי כל מצות האב על הבן אילימא כל מצותא דמיחייב אבא למיעבד לבריה נשים חייבות והתניא האב חייב בבנו למולו ולפדותו אביו אין אמו לא
BUT ALL OBLIGATIONS OF THE FATHER UPON THE SON etc. , What is meant by 'ALL OBLIGATIONS OF THE FATHER UPON THE SON? Shall we say, all precepts which the father is bound to perform for his son - are then women bound thereby? But it was taught: 'The father is obliged in respect of his son, to circumcise and redeem him': only the father, but not the mother? - Said Rab Judah, This is its meaning: All precepts concerning a father, which are incumbent upon a son to perform for his father, both men and women are bound thereby.
Rashi on Kiddushin
That a father is required to perform for his son: For example, to circumcise him and to redeem him. And this is what is implied in our mishnah - "all mitzvot" that "a father" is commanded with regard to" the acts" of "the son."
