Response to Lauren T

Well your sister is lucky to have you! I find this interesting i was just posting my gender moment and i was talking about how my father was concerned about me driving to TN with my gf for a music festival yet he let my brother go when my brother was 5 years younger than i am now. There really are double standards in this world and it hard to believe our parents are a part of this problem. I think what you said was correct that your sister can never learn for herself i totally agree. I have an 18 year old sister and i have had many conversations just like that with my parents in regards to her. There is a perception that men are stronger and less vulnerable despite their size and age. I do not agree with this i workout and i am strong and i know a few boys i can take down ha! I am the youngest of my brothers and sister i know have two step sisters but i have been in that situation before where my brother and sisters were allowed to do things and when i was there age i wasn't. I argued the same thing to my father that each child is different and therefore should all be treated differently i eventually got my way. But i appreciate my parents now for letting me learn my own lessons and not stopping me from doing things just because my brother and sister might have made dumb mistakes.
