We Pay more attention to our Daughters than our Sons

If I were to have children then I would be considerably more protective over my girls than I would be my boys. I know that there are plenty of people who feel this way but maybe we are all looking at it wrong. Maybe we are creating the problem by not paying as much attention to our boys when they are young while paying too much of our attention to our girls. I’ve seen plenty of young adult males who just can’t seem to make it in life whose sisters are far more stable than they are and whenever I look into their lives it was just like this: the father and mother were more strict and affectionate towards their daughters while they expected their sons to tough it out. It is popular belief that hardship will make a boy into a man. I think that this is a mistake to some extent and that it should not be going on in any family.

Not all fingers are the same, but if you cut one, it hurts the same as the others.
I believe that parents feel the same love and adoration for their children, no matter if they are girls or boys.
Nowadays, literally every occupation under the sun has been conquered by women, so there is not really any point in preparing children for life differently, based on their gender. All children should be given equal opportunities, because they are the future.
Let’s say, a parent treats a female child more favorably than a male child, in expectation, perhaps, that the female child cares for him/her later in life, when age and sickness make life difficult. However, it may prove that the male child, though less attended, will be the one to cater for his parents later in life, and the female child may prove to ungrateful. You never know.
