Re: Like a Son
This just means somewhere in the back of the mind, father differentiates b/w son and daughter :)
Re: Like a Son
I have heard many girls say that their fathers call them that they are like a son to them. What does this actually mean? Is this similar to when some women in families wish of having the birth of a boy?
A daughter being a daughter and acting like a daughter can always serve her parents in best possible ways. In my opinion it is a wrong approach in our society to equate daugthers to sons like this. This some how shows that parents still think that sons are better than daughters and they sort of rate their daugthers one step above by calling them sons.
No one might agree with my post but this was my view point i always had on this subject.
Re: Like a Son
it could mean she needs to thread her facial hair. or she blew thru dad's savings and has nothing to show for it. or that she can change a flat tire in 5 mins. or that dad is istupid. lots of possibilities.
Re: Like a Son

Re: Like a Son
i had no intention of engaging myself in a heated debate over this subject, thats why my words were very careful. Glad that i am not the only one with this kind of opinion

^ Interesting that you are so careful with your opinions. I think there is nothing wrong in saying that such statements can be considered sexists.

Ideally every couple who wants kids wud want a girl and a boy (at least one of each).
Now when a father or mother says to his daughter, "u r like a son to me" it wud mean that who needs a son when we have daughter like you.
