Raising Children.

I am the oldest of two girls. My parents are relatively strict, and they became more strict the older I got. My father has admitted to me that if I were born a boy he would not be so strict, I would not have a curfew, and he would not check up on me as much. When he told me this I was really upset, and his answer was "I know how young boys are." It really made me mad because it was like a boy's judgment would outweigh my judgment
Most of my male friends do not have curfews, and a few of them have been arrested for underage drinking or drugs and they still do not have a curfew. It is frustrating because most of my friends are boys and I hang out with boys on a regular basis, and I always have and I have always been the first one to have to go home, because I was the only one with a curfew.
I know this sounds ridiculous, but even my male friends with female siblings have less strict rules than their female siblings. It has always been hard for me, and often I've wondered why I couldn't have been a boy, so I would be given more freedom and privilege in my own home.
