Re: Curfews
^^^it was maghrib at our house too
as for girls needing protection you’re right…they need to be home safe and sound cuz they need protection and boys need to be home because boys are the ones girls need protection from 
Re: Curfews
Have you had experience with the pepper spray?
^:omg:
My dad had the same curfew for me which he has implemented for my brother now (he’s 21). The only difference is that he’s allowed to go for sleepover study sessions while we the daughters weren’t allowed 
I’ll have the same curfew rules for my kids, boys or girls.
Have you had experience with the pepper spray?
I have not but have seen it in key chains of many females (desis and non desis) and they don't carry it to use in Kitchen for seasoning, do they?
Re: Curfews
As they have weapons, makes your point about safety moot.

exactly, why mostly girls have to take "aid" of weapon (ok pepper spray)? simple. Naturally they are less stronger than males and there is nothing wrong about it. its Natural. Just like guys might be labeled as "less caring" by nature and there is nothing wrong in that.
I know this can drag on for pages, so I have made my point and you are free to agree and disagree :)
Should boys be allowed to have a later curfew than their sisters?
No. It sends out the wrong msg to the boys ie. u can 'get away' with more (and I don't mean just staying out later) than ur sisters and tends to make them arrogant. I would hate my daughters to feel resentment towards me for practising double-standards so both genders would have the same curfew in my home. As for the issue of safety, if the girls are out in a group with others I trust and arrangements have been made to get them home ok I don't see how they'd be any less safe than the boys (infact from what I've seen it's the Asian boys who are more likely to get into fights and trouble)..
With my own family altho my dad was very fair and said we should be treated the same my mum would tell me I'd need to come home sooner then my brother and me wanting to wind her up if she said 12 I'd make a point of coming in at 3 lol. My dad soon decided that rather than having a proper curfew as long as I phoned him to let him know what was going on that would be acceptable.. I always used to drive home myself rather than wait around on some lonely train platform and I never once came home drunk so that prob helped in him trusting me..
Re: Curfews
No staying out late for both, full stop. 
Re: Curfews
I would like it to be the same but for safety reasons and practically speaking I'd be worried about my daughter too (not b/c i don't trust her). I know one of my cousins would to carry red pepper like yrs ago . not even the spray but pure red pepper in a small plastic bag in her pocket. Ha!. But my parents trust me more than my other 2 sisters and I have a "nicer" curfew. lol But my bro.s really didn't have a curfew. =/
Re: Curfews
hehe - someone I know who is married and has kids - and his parents STILL have curfew fights with him. He has no say even though married, and has kids.
now that's called equality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO parents! hhahahaa
Re: Curfews
I'm not allowed to stay out as long as my sister even though I'm a dude. She's older than we though.
my bhaiz can so relate 2 this subject man 
when I was growing up with 3 bros of same age group my dad had just 1 rule “I will allow you boyz to do watever u want to do but ur sister can do the same, whether u wanna smoke, drink, hang out late nights, go abroad, watever , u r free 2 do wat ever u wanna do :D”
and becharay mairay bhai always so thoughtful abt me sari zindagi kuch nahin karsakay
