double standards in our society

^ lol Sara. What about the rest of the people in the thread.

There are always things in your culture that have been there for centuries. You like it or not, they are there. I think more than ‘protection’ for girls, the parents are worried about ‘log kya kahain gey’. This might be a genuine concern given our integrated social fabric.

We get a thread cribbing about it atleast once a month I guess.

I agree somewhat. At the same time, I think that parents need to show that certain things are right/wrong for both, despite the genders. Though I do not expect any parent to treat sons and daughters equally, because frankly that is ot possible. There are such vast differences in their needs and wants and when raising them, parents have to be able to pick up on them . At the same time, certain obvious rules should apply to both, ie curfew.
