The statement ‘Everyone has a father, but not every father has a son’ implies that some parents have daughters.
The second part of the statement, “not every father has a son,” means that there exists at least one father who does not have a son. Since being a father implies having children, a father who does not have a son must have at least one daughter (they could have only daughters or daughters and no sons). Fathers are parents. Therefore, there exists at least one parent (a father) who has a daughter (or daughters).
