Would you treat your son differently than your daughter?

[Supremacy]

I was talking with my friends and all of them said that they will treat their son and daughter differently.

 

I thought it was an absurd. Like, they will allow their son to date at a young age, but will not allow their daughter to date until certain age.

 

What do you think about it?

[Felisha]

i am not cap 

[SlayingSeohyun]

I'd slay at being a parent tbh, better than everyone else. I'd treat them differently if one was ugly and one wasn't.

[Darlie]

No, even though I know nothing about parenting

[xiaodery]

i think it depends. when it comes to dating, i would obviously not treat them any different. but there are things that boys and girls are naturally different on and there's nothing i can do about it.

[AdzPower]

Of course not, I'd treat them the same either way, what on earth made your friends think boys are more capable of coping with a relationship from a young age? Teenage boys are as hormonal and volatile and immature as teenage girls, Ridiculous.

[h0neanias]

There are some differences in the circumstances of their lives, which dictates certain finer points. Other than that, why should I?

[KrazyAjumma]

I have three girls and two boys. I do treat them differently, like I tell my sons not to pee on the toilet seat and I have discussed periods more in-depth with the girls. That's about the only things I can think of that need to be addressed based on sex. 

[Delphine]

No. I don't want to perpetuate misogynistic and sexist behaviors, nor transmit that to my children, so I'll make sure to educate them and offer them the same chances, but also to educate them about the inequalities existing in this world, and how to behave to make the world more equal. I'd try to teach them that nothing in this world should have a gendered connotation.

If I have a boy wanting to have a dress and wear make-up, and a girl wanting to dress boyish and play sport, I won't care, nobody should care, what matters is to do something that'll make them happy, not what society wants and will certainly push them to do/become.

you always word the same things i think in such a nice way omg

[Joyz]

nope, ! 

 

And also a big point that i would make clear,(what I see alot in some families) is that the brother always interferes with the sisters bussines. Which I also wouldnt allow >:(

[North and South]

OMG I experience this all the time. My parents will get mad if I stay out too late to watch a movie, but they won't bat an eyelash at my brother. That being said though, my parents get mad at my brother when he doesn't help me carry heavy stuff even though I'm just as tall as him and nearly as strong.

 

Cute related story actually, when my mom told my grandparents that she was pregnant, my grandparents told my parents to go to a religious figure to go pray for a son as the eldest born child.  My dad then immediately went and prayed for a daughter, because he wanted a little girl he could buy dresses for and brush her hair.

 

For my parents at least, they do want to treat me differently because I am a girl because they really care about making sure that I as their daughter am being treated with the best possible care they can give. This does mean though that my parents will treat me differently becuase they expect me to conform to standards of what is "feminine". Because I understand that my parent's intention is not to be unfair to me, but rather they do it out of love and based on what our traditional culture dictates is in the best possible interest for a daughter, I don't get mad at them, too much at least, when they treat me differently from my brother.

 

I think that I would treat my son and daughter differently in some respects if I was a parent as well, because I don't think the answer is as sinple as saying sons and daughters are the same in every respect. However, just as my parents did, I wouldn't discriminate with them in terms of how they are taught morals, religion, education or anything of that sort. I think saying taht you won't let your daughter date but you will let your son is silly and unfair. But I probably wouldn't talk about certain subjects with my son as I would with my daughter and stuff like that. But that also brings into account as to how your son and daughter may want to be differentiated in terms of your behaviour as a parent towards them as well.

what can i say? i'm good with words

 

 

jk jk

[Ulmicola]

...why the fuck would you treat your son and your daughter differently just because of their gender?

[The_Vixen]

i am not cap 

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha  give five, man

[♔Nippon Girl♥]

they should be treated the same way but the way of raising them is different , their should always be equality in treatment 

[hallah]

...why the fuck would you treat your son and your daughter differently just because of their gender?

 

because social norms.

 

not saying i agree with it (i don't), but people still live and die by it.

[Jela]

they should be treated the same way but the way of raising them is different , their should always be equality in treatment 

exactly.

[♥SNS-Shinomiya♥]

I would raise them the same but I think I would treat them differently in some areas. The dating thing, I think I would be more strict on my daughter when it comes to dating because if anything goes wrong she may get pregnant. As for my son, I would instil in him (or the father) more responsibility so that he doesn't knock up someone or have someone come after him with bad intentions.

 

I mean they are girls and boys, you will raise them the same but that doesn't mean you will treat the same in every case.

are you really a real person , a human or just some kind annoying program that make fake accounts and troll around I refuse to think someone like you exist in this world

Lol, kind of a random comment, tbh. 

[Midna]

Yes I would

 

i would probably be lenient on him for certain things that I wouldn't for a daughter, but I would probably be more strict about respect towards others. Idk teenage boys are just... so i probably will be making sure my son don't get into bad habits at that age (cuz peer pressure~~~~). But honestly, if I raised the boy to be a gentleman, I would say no I wouldn't.

[awkyj]

 boys are so much dumber so ofc i will treat them differently lmao

 

when im taking care of my little cousins i have to be more rigid and talk to the boy as if he was a dog and the girl is just so smart and i don't have to tell her things like "don't eat dirt", "don't pee on the floor!" etc, etc... and why would i allow the boy to date early than the girl? for him to come back with a pregnant 15 yr old? no thanks. 

[suspense]

You let your son date at a young age cause it's okay if he ruins other girl's lives.

 

You restrict your daughter from dating so that other boys don't get her preggy and ruin her life.

 

 

At least, that's the logic i see in it.

 

For me, I don't think i'd treat them that much differently. I'd let them date whenever they want, as long as I educate them and know that they can handle themselves.

[exstasy]

Nah, I'll not treat them or raise them differently. Male or female they're just human beings. /End
