I am not strict with him for pleasure. I treat him like a son because I care about his well being. I would obey my parents and my parents only. For example I am the middle child and I am the youngest girl, and my parents had a lot of discipline on me versus my older sister and brother. My sister that has the opportunity to have much more freedom than me and my brother that has all the freedom in the world because he is a guy, and the spoiled young one.
Regardless parents are still more strict on girls.
When parents have a lot of restrictions, with their girls, they have a tendency to rebel against them. Their rebellious acts can lead to such things as using drugs, and getting pregnant at an early age. Well I agree that women are more protected over and are restricted, but I think that the parents tend to do this because they worry about their girls. I believe that women have a lot more dangers in this world. And as parents have seen and know a little about what happens in society and what happens in the streets.
