[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the perception is that girls are easier to manage behaviorally. Im not saying that it’s true, but that is what people think.[/quote] It’s is hard to broad brush a whole gender but this is the answer. People think girls will be calmer and easier. Depending on the family and cultural dynamics, mothers likely think girls will eventually help them with female dominated labor. Helping with cooking and cleaning, eventually elder care for grandparents. My close friend is going through this now. Her grandfather is living with her parents and needs a lot of help. She stops by every weekend to give her mother a break, her two brothers only really come around for holidays. In my own family it is the women that organize and cook every single holiday meal. I know that this isn’t the case for every family, but I think this dynamic is common.[/quote]
