I've never understood the illiberal desire to treat boys and girls so differently. I'm glad I live in a country where sexism is illegal at a fundamental level -- this kind of law would be quickly struck down.

Maybe it's based on millions of years of biological differences in their capacities and functions (starting from body strength and role in reproduction), plus differences in social roles, of which some of the latter might be arbitrary, but some are necessary adjustments every historical society understood.

The big idea lately is to ignore all of that and just give everyone equal rights but unequal responsibilities.

I always find it really amusing that the most pro trust the science people who are in total agreement with all the evolution theories are often also the ones who are the first to be in complete denial that us humans might actually share some characteristics with our closest genetic relatives (chimpanzees).

		Bonobos are just as close and they're matriarchal. They're a very different species.

Where is that?

And they are btw.

Girls mature earlier, does explain why every 14-18 year old girl has an older BF. The guys in her grade just wont satisfy her (○｀ 3′○)

And yea we have to learn how to do the same, sadly I never did

This sounds crazy, I know, but perhaps boys and girls are different.

This comment explains absolutely nothing and it feels utterly irrelevant in either direction and probably shouldn't have been posted. It can be read negatively against boys or negatively against girls so why post it?

This part I really do not understand. The undeniable fact that boys and girls are different in several aspects does not make either superior or inferior in value or in dignity.

On the other hand, anything can be read negatively if you put enough will and effort into it, as so many people around here demonstrate.

How about being a bit more constructive in our criticism?

Sure it does. Boys and girls are different. Hence, they receive different treatment, which the OP was originally befuddled by.

		This is the way! It is sad that wokeism and socialism have created this post-truth world, where math and gender are what you want it to be. Utterly absurd, but this philosophy collapses when it crashes into reality who doesn't care about wokeism.

When you impose gender ideology, gender roles on them from age 0, yeah you will get vastly different outcomes for boys and girls.

Yes, but you also get vastly different outcomes when you don't impose these as well.

You may want to do some research on this thing called „hormones“ and how they differ in both genders.

		Hormones don’t raise kids in particular gender norms, don’t carve them a place in society, don’t feed them gender-based culture 24/7. They do have a physical impact, impact on sexual development, their sex, reproductive function, temperament, but gender is a human invention.
