    Sadly, this is much more likely than not. Parents internalize so much gender disparity and perpetuate it from their children's birth

    Replying to @SayftyCom @chhavi
    Parents often do the unthinkable by indirectly telling girls, career, higher education not for them as eventually they have to b there pleasing in-laws. Always made to give in, sacrifice for the men in family

    We teach our daughters (and sons) BY EXAMPLE! We can ask ourselves these questions… Are WE fearless? Do we trust OUR intuition? A3

    Q3. How do you teach daughters to trust their intuition and be fearless?

    By setting an example. Mothers should ideally lead the way and conduct within a household where spousal responsibilities are equal as well as raising their sons and daughters equally. When moms are bold, fearless and seen chasing dreams, daughters follow.

    Yes. And this often goes well into adulthood, especially among daughters. Often parents go to their sons for financial advice and not their daughters, because well a son would know about money related matters!

    ENCOURAGE daughters to speak up… LISTEN to them when they express opinions and preferences… and most importantly, LOVE them for who they are! A5

    and I think patriarchy is the root cause here. The whole system is set up to fail the woman (who then fail each other). The strongest pillar is the son, so the mother, wife, sister all have to appease him :(

    Sadly these are very mistake almost all in patriarchal society do..here women become their own daughter's enemy by stalling her growth as an individual!

    A.2. Making girls ashamed of their femininity. I remember how we were taught to call out private parts "shame shame". Not having discussions with their daughters about sexuality, reproductive health, body confidence.

    Q2. What are some common mistakes parents make when raising daughters?

    Stifling their ambitions is probably one that does the most harm. Telling a girl she is weak or incapable of something is one of the most common and often toxic mistakes a parent could make when raising their daughter.

    A1: Parents tend to put more restrictions on the social lives of females by not letting them go out often or go out late with friends vs with their sons. Additionally, girls tend to be raised to be quiet and not talk back

    Q1. What are some ways in which parents raise their daughters differently from their sons?

    SO MANY ways! Expectations about their behavior, the books/clothes/toys they choose for them, the way they frame what is possible for them and what is not. A1

    When growing up girls couldn't wear pants. Even today most girls can't wear pants when visiting parents upcountry.

    Girls learn household chores at an early age when compared to their brothers. In some pockets of society sons are given a higher preference to attend school and more social allowances which include staying out late, friend circles and dressing as they please.
