Boys vs Girls

Since this show is about girls being treated bedly for not being born guys, I wanted to see if it happens in real life,too. So please take a minute to answer these questions.

1. Do you have any brothers?
2. Are you ever treated differently then your brother becasue you are a girl?
3.How have you been treated badly for being born a girl and what did you do about it?

If you have a suggestion for more questions please post them. And if you have idea on how we can fight back when we are being treated badly, please post it.

1. I have one brother, and no sisters.
2. I am treated differently than my brother when it comes to the issue of having freedom. My parents get mad at me if I speak my mind or ask to go out somewhere with my friends (all indian girls).
3. My biggest issue are relatives that constantly remind me that boys are better than girls. I deal with them by reminding them all the things girls do and all the benifits of having a daughter. The biggest thing I point out to them is that the Gurus (I am sikh), taught us to treat girls and boys equally and if they don't the are going against god in a way. If they still don't listen I refuse to talk to them and they aren't welcome in my house.

I think I am the only girl on this forum that comes from a family that does do some difference between girls. I just want to take a moment to say congrats to all of you that were luck enough to be born into such nice families.

Same is here but you know if you want to live in this society means your own culture then you have to do all these things you are not the only one who is treated like that, mostly (not all) middle class girls are taught like this by their parents and other relatives, I am against bad treatment but not all other things are bad. because if there are no rules then you are living in jungle not in society. Every society has rules and they follows but to know those rules you have be a part of that culture or society. I am living in USA and working in an office I learned my society my religion(Sikh) is more forward than these people they are living in pather yug........I feel proud when I told them in our society ladies are not called witches, they are not left behind as single's with all kids.............I think this is more than what I want to say...........hope you will not feel bad.....This is my experience.........Dusre di thali which ladoo vada hee lagda hea...........

I live in the USA, too. I go to College and am Treated as a equal to my brother by my parents (most of the time). I use to have a picture of Indian culuture that potrayed it as perfect and same with my religion. As I have gotten older I have reliesed it isn't perfect. Now my life goal is that I am going to do something about Women and girls that aren't treated like equals to guys. I am sick and tired of people complaining about their problems and not doing anything about them.

1) NO id on't have a brother
2) my parents specially my father never let me feel like that. even if i would have a brother , my father would have treated me better than him
3) my father never say that boys are better than girls he has always treated me like if im his son. my father actually made me proud of being a girl

That is good. I have no problem with my culture or religion except abortion.......I hate this word and the people who aborted there girls before they are born. Another part of this discussion is this, having baby girl or boy is someone's personal choice, we know in India if girl married with a boy how much it costs.......If someone can help girls parents then why they go for abortion? our whole marriage system is bad I attend marriages here mostly girls parents spend too much.....afterall this is america.........

1. Do you have any brothers?

2. Are you ever treated differently then your brother becasue you are a girl?
No

3.How have you been treated badly for being born a girl and what did you do about it?
No

It's different for everyone. when I was in India, my Aunts really tried to mold me like a typical Indian girl. You know, one who cooks, cleans and listens to everybody etc... But when I came to my mother in USA it changed. I have two bros, one older and one younger and one younger sis too. Though sometimes me and my sis have been treated differently than our bros its not all that often. we all have same freedom etc. My family does not mind, especially seeing that the females in my family are more goal-oriented than others. Everytime someone treats me or my sis differently than our bros. we remind them how lucky they are to have us. Also, both my bros knows how to cook, clean dishes and laundry. Every chore in our house is divided equally. So, while there was diff. at one point it is almost gone.

I have a brother. I treated differently when it comes to going out with my friends at night or something. But u see that parents are just too over protective with there daughter cause onne day have to go to there own house and all that. But maybe its just somwthing thats naturally and when maybe we all become parents we will do the same. Maybe because it depends on how open mided and how ur children are. BUt in this show its totally different.
