GIRLS AND BOYS TREATED DIFFERENTLY!

  GIRLS AND BOYS TREATED DIFFERENTLY!


Intentionally or unintentionally we treat girls and boys differently.



In terms of education:


When boys in the family want to pursue higher studies or fail exams they are motivated for

doing better and growing. But when girls want to pursue higher studies, there is always one

a voice in the family will say, ‘What is the need for studying so much?’. Someone will

doubt that girls will not be able to complete it or consider it a waste of time and money for

the education of girls. But for boys, most of the time, the opportunity to study is given more

preference than girls.


In terms of nutrition:


Healthy food is important for both genders. Why does a wife have to wait for her husband to

have his food first and after that, she can have it?

Why should first boys be given healthier options to eat than girls?

All this has been going on for ages. Which is wrong.


In terms of activities participated at schools:


Why are sports for boys different from that for girls?

Why can't girls participate in football or cricket activities?

Why if a girl wants to be a part of the football team or demands the girls team, she is

questioned and judged?

Girls can participate in activities like dance, music, arts, and craft, but not other activities,

why?

This way we do not give equal opportunities to girls.

Why cannot a boy be good at the arts and not interested in football or cricket?

Sports and activities should not be gender-based.


In terms of household chores:


Girls are always told to participate in household chores like cooking, cleaning, and

taking care of family members. Boys can relax, watch television, and play games, but girls

should learn to do household chores so that when they get married they can take care of the

house well.

These are regular day-to-day activities. Through these ways, we treat girls and boys

differently.

It is unintentional and sometimes intentional.


It is very important to give equal opportunities to our kids and not divide activities according

to gender.


Stay safe!

Stay unbiased!

Happy parenting!
