It's just how boys are.

Girls just have to accept it and deal with it.


It is how boys are taught to be. (Or allowed to be)

It is how girls are taught to accept it and deal with it.


I think that my daughter knows not to accept it. Or at least, I hope so.

However, the really odd thing is how many mothers teach their daughters to just endure and accept it because it is all that the mothers have ever known, or been allowed to know.

Ultimately, our society may prosper or fail by how well we develop educated, thinking women - by definition true, I know; I often think that the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun (or a bad guy with a congress, for that matter), is a girl with a book.
