Gosh that is so true! My bro’ was allowed to stay over at his friend’s houses, go out with his friends whenever he wanted etc but we sisters were protected like precious jewels! My bro’ asked my parents just once if he could move out for uni and they were only too pleased! But when my sisters and I asked, it was a constant battle trying to convince my parents that everything would be okay and that it was just for uni years!
Also Mum always hesitated to let me go to my friend’s house if any of them had an older brother, which was so annoying! Mum always said, “I do trust you…I just don’t trust others….and remember…boys are dangerous!” Lol!
Guys definitely have more freedom! 
But the Quran has always made it clear thought that men and women are equal in the eyes of Allah swt, but in the eyes of Desi people…we are not! Lol!
