The document discusses gender discrimination and inequalities faced by women in India. It notes that gender refers to the socio-cultural roles, behaviors and attributes assigned to men and women in a society. In India, women face discrimination from birth, with female infants often seen as a burden. Women and girls are subjected to neglect, unequal treatment and violence throughout their lives. They have lower literacy rates and less access to education and opportunities than men. The document outlines some of the key issues related to gender inequalities in India such as female foeticide, dowry practices, gender-based violence, and disparities in health and nutrition.
The document discusses the issue of declining sex ratios and missing female children in India due to practices like female infanticide and sex-selective abortions. It notes that the natural sex ratio at birth favors boys but that cultural preferences for sons over daughters, combined with access to sex determination technology, have led to millions of missing girls. This is considered a human rights violation and has social consequences like increased violence against women and human trafficking. Solutions proposed include strong enforcement of laws against sex determination and changing deep-rooted social attitudes of gender discrimination.
This document discusses gender inequality in various areas such as the workplace, relationships, parenting, marriage, technology, television/film, fashion, and education. It provides examples of gender inequality around the world and measures taken by the Indian government and organizations to promote equality. Key points addressed include natural sex differences, wage discrimination, unequal responsibilities at home and in careers, and discrimination faced by women in industries like film. Organizations working to promote female education and empowerment are also mentioned.
This document discusses issues of discrimination in recruitment in Pakistan. It summarizes several forms of discrimination such as child labor, neglect of women's rights, lack of consideration for human rights during interviews, gender inequality, and discrimination based on race, caste or religion. It then provides examples of causes of workplace discrimination like the belief that certain jobs are for men or women. Finally, it proposes solutions like enforcing laws against discrimination and implementing diversity and inclusion policies.
The presentation describes the situation of female foeticide in Indian society. Its causes ,effects and remedies are also described in this presentation.
Gender discrimination in India has existed for generations due to the culture which promotes practices like dowry, child marriage, and preference for men. This has led to exploitation and killing of women, especially in rural areas. Lack of education and political participation for women along with male-dominated society norms have further promoted discrimination. While laws have been passed to promote equal rights, discrimination continues in many forms such as female feticide, lower literacy and work participation rates for women, and high rates of violence against women. There is a need for change in mindsets and more support for women's empowerment to remove gender inequality in India.
This document discusses gender-based bias and laws combating violence against women in India. It begins by defining gender and distinguishing it from sex. Gender is a social construct that leads to stereotypes and biases, often against women in India's patriarchal society. Some examples of gender-based bias women face in India include female feticide, child marriage, domestic abuse, and discrimination in divorce and inheritance. The document then outlines constitutional provisions and various laws enacted to protect women, such as amendments to rape laws and acts preventing domestic violence, dowry prohibition, sexual harassment, and more. It provides examples of relevant case laws that have interpreted and strengthened these protections for women over time.
The document discusses women's empowerment in India. It defines empowerment as giving women the power to control their own lives. It outlines problems facing women like violence, discrimination, and workplace issues. Components of empowerment include self-worth, choices, opportunities, and influencing social change. Factors like education, health, poverty, and traditions can affect empowerment, while policies aim to facilitate it through rights, freedom, and participation. The national policy's goals are creating an enabling environment and fundamental freedoms for women.

Gender inequality refers to unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender, which arises from differences in socially constructed gender roles. Gender relations in India are unequal with respect to power, privilege, and property. To combat gender inequality and promote equality, efforts should be made to offer high-level education to women, increase their employment and involvement in politics and social activities, arrange social protection programs, and generate awareness among parents through scholarships for girls. Workplaces should also provide equal pay and remove barriers to full participation for both women and men while eliminating discrimination based on gender or caring responsibilities.

Gender Discrimination & Women Empowermentsachin tiwari
This presentation is about women empowerment & gender discrimination. Here, I have added a lot of facts & figures.
I have tried to highlight all the problems & hurdles regarding this problem and also suggested some ideas that can overcome all these problems.
Gender inequality exists in education, employment, and income between men and women. Women face barriers including earning only 70 cents for every dollar a man earns, being discouraged from pursuing higher-paying fields, and shouldering a greater burden of unpaid domestic work and childcare. While progress has been made over the last 30 years from more women in the workforce and policies against wage discrimination, gender roles and societal expectations of women's traditional roles in the household and workplace still contribute to inequality today.
This document discusses women's empowerment in India. It defines the differences between sex and gender, and explains that women's empowerment involves redistributing power away from patriarchal systems and male dominance. It outlines objectives of empowerment like decision-making power, access to resources, and positive self-image. Crimes against women like domestic violence and rape are also mentioned. The document then discusses factors that facilitate empowerment and laws in India aimed at protecting and empowering women.
Gender equality is a human fight, not a female fight, here is a presentation highlighting the importance of gender equality.

The document discusses gender discrimination and inequality in various contexts. It begins with quotes emphasizing the need to raise both sons and daughters with egalitarian values. It then discusses discrimination against women in India through unequal wages, sexual harassment, familial status discrimination, domestic violence, human trafficking, and state-sanctioned discriminatory laws. Politicians' statements reflecting patriarchal mindsets are also criticized. Theories on gender socialization and identity construction are outlined. International laws like CEDAW and EU principles that promote gender equality are mentioned. In summary, the document analyzes pervasive gender discrimination and inequality in India through different social, legal, economic, and political lenses.
This document discusses women's empowerment in India. It outlines several factors that contribute to women's lack of empowerment, including lack of decision-making power, freedom of movement, access to education, employment, media exposure, and domestic violence. Government programs and NGOs aim to empower women through increasing access to resources, education, employment opportunities, and political participation. Overall empowerment of women is necessary for India to achieve its full potential.
The document discusses women empowerment, defining it as challenging patriarchal ideology and male dominance. It is the process of changing systematic forces that marginalize women. Empowerment involves decision-making power, access to resources, options/choices, assertiveness, positive thinking, skill development, changing others' perceptions, involvement in growth/changes, and positive self-image. It discusses crimes against women, pre-requisites for empowerment, facilitating/constraining factors, advantages, rights of women, and legislative acts supporting empowerment in India like quotas and laws against violence and discrimination. It also outlines government programs and policies aimed at economic, social, political, cultural, and educational empowerment of women.
This document discusses women's empowerment in India and how it affects the country's development. It provides statistics showing that women make up a large percentage of workers in the unorganized sector and agriculture. Women spend significantly more time on household work than men. While education and economic independence can empower women, culture and tradition still play a large role in limiting women's decision making power and freedom of movement. Several government schemes aim to promote women's empowerment through health, education, skills training, microcredit, and political participation. Empowering women has benefits that can transform families and communities.
Gender discrimination still affects women in education, work, income, and culture. In education, women earn more post-secondary degrees than men but face direct, indirect, and harassment-based discrimination. At work, women are underrepresented in high-paying fields and top positions, and often face unequal pay and barriers to promotion compared to equally qualified men. Cultural gender discrimination perpetuates stereotypes through colors, toys, media, and parental socialization that steer women and men into traditional gender roles. While progress has been made, discrimination continues to disadvantage women in many countries worldwide.
This document discusses gender equality and its importance. It defines gender equality as access to rights and opportunities regardless of gender. Gender inequality is caused by factors like patriarchy, discrimination, and unequal pay/work. Examples of inequality include lack of access to education, travel rights, and political representation for women. Achieving gender equality is important for organizations, economic growth, family investment, and reducing child mortality. Ensuring equality requires empowering women through education, ending child marriage and violence against women, and increasing women's representation in leadership.
This document discusses gender inequality around the world and in various contexts. It begins by defining gender inequality and outlining sociological theories about it. It then examines manifestations of inequality in the home, workplace, schools, and other areas of society. Specific issues addressed include the gender wage gap, stereotypes, discrimination, domestic abuse, and lack of opportunities for women in certain countries. The document advocates for raising awareness, promoting education and literacy for women, enacting equal pay, and addressing healthcare and violence against women to help solve the problem of ongoing gender inequality.
This document discusses gender inequality in Canada and around the world. It provides an overview of four theories of gender inequality: structural-functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism, and feminist theory. It then analyzes specific examples of structural sexism in areas like education, income, and the workplace. It also discusses cultural sexism and global variations in gender inequality. Statistics are presented on topics like women's representation in STEM fields and differences in high school graduation rates between males and females.
The girl child faces discrimination in many parts of the world. She is often viewed as inferior to the male child and receives less access to education, healthcare, and other resources. Gender-based discrimination against girls manifests in various harmful forms such as sex-selective abortion, neglect, and lack of opportunities. While laws and policies have promoted greater equality, cultural attitudes still undermine female children in some societies. Overcoming deep-rooted discrimination requires ongoing efforts to change mindsets and ensure girls can realize their full potential.
This document provides an overview of gender insensitivity and related issues in India. It discusses how gender norms socialize males and females into traditional roles that establish power imbalances. This leads to discrimination and barriers that increase risks of violence against women. In India specifically, patriarchal norms relegate women to secondary status, affecting their education, finances, health and involvement. Women face issues like child marriage, responsibility for household duties, lower wages, and lack of inheritance rights. The document also discusses gender sensitization programs and occupational inequalities faced by women in areas like the military, property rights, and discrimination in hiring and firing.

India faces many social challenges, with violence against females being one of the biggest. The document discusses several issues facing Indian women such as low sex ratios at birth, high rates of child marriage, lack of access to education, and safety issues like trafficking, sexual harassment, rape, and domestic violence. The youth can help address these problems by promoting girls' education, preventing child marriage, supporting laws and policies to increase women's safety, and changing social attitudes.
Child sexual abuse is a serious problem in Pakistan that causes psychological, physical, and social harm. According to a recent report, over 1,300 children in Pakistan experienced some form of sexual abuse from January to June 2019. Children from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with disabilities, or in unstable family situations are most at risk. Sexual abuse has short and long term effects on victims' mental health, behavior, and development. Combating this issue requires efforts on individual, community, and national levels through education, counseling, legal reforms, and supporting survivors.
Gender inequality has been a prevalent issue in India. Historically, women have faced discrimination through practices like dowry, sati system, and purdah system which lowered their social status over time. Today, gender inequality manifests in various forms like higher female mortality and sex-selective abortions, lack of equal rights to property, employment and education opportunities. Social and cultural factors like patriarchal norms, son preference, and women's traditional roles in the family have perpetuated inequality. While laws have aimed to promote equality, implementation remains a challenge and gender disparities persist in many areas of health, education, employment and political representation in India.

The document discusses the rooted problem of gender discrimination and ignorance towards women's empowerment in India. It summarizes that:
1) India remains a male-dominated society where women are often seen as subordinate and inferior, despite some opportunities for women in everyday life, business, and politics.
2) Discrimination against females begins from birth and continues throughout their lives, whether it be in access to healthcare, education, child marriage practices, or other spheres.
3) Overcoming these deep-rooted issues requires recognizing domains of work like capabilities, access to resources and opportunities, and security from violence, as well as leadership, political will, and strategic efforts to change societal mindsets and institutions over
Effect of self management strategy on discriminatory behaviour against the gi...Alexander Decker
This document discusses research on the discriminatory behavior against girl-children. It describes a study that examined the effects of a self-management strategy on reducing discrimination. The study used a quasi-experimental design with 80 participants from Nigeria. It found that the self-management strategy significantly reduced discriminatory behavior in the experimental group compared to the control group. It concluded that self-management strategies can effectively change discriminatory attitudes against girl-children.
The document discusses various issues facing the girl child in Indian society, from female feticide and infanticide to discrimination in education and child marriage. Some key points:
1) Female fetuses are often selectively aborted through sex determination tests, and female infants are still abandoned or killed by the dozens.
2) Society views girls as a burden due to dowry costs and the expectation that they will eventually belong to another family.
3) Despite laws, girls face discrimination and lack of access to education. Many are pulled out of school early or not allowed to pursue higher education. Child marriage also remains a problem.
Project Report on "Women Safety and Empowerment"Abhishek Suman
The document proposes a new system to improve women's safety and empowerment in India through a joint venture between government and NGOs. It would feature a four-tier structure from the national to village level, with women-led departments and committees. Key roles would include conducting surveys, implementing awareness programs, and efficiently addressing crimes and social issues faced by women. The new model aims to directly involve women at all levels to better understand and resolve their challenges within the legal framework.
This document proposes a 4-tier system to empower women and ensure their safety in India. It would have governing bodies at the panchayat, district, state, and national levels to oversee programs. Additional female representatives and departments focused solely on women's issues would be established. Non-governmental organizations would partner to implement awareness campaigns and training programs. The goal is to make women feel empowered to report issues without hesitation through a system that is dedicated to their welfare from the local to national levels.
The document discusses issues related to women's empowerment and safety in India. It provides statistics showing high levels of domestic violence, female feticide, rape, and illiteracy among women. It then proposes a solution to implement a joint government and non-government organization controlled system with four tiers from the national to local block level to oversee programs for women's empowerment and safety. Key roles and authorities at each level are outlined.

Gender Imbalance in India Causes and Emerging Issuesijtsrd
The provisional data of 2011 Census has once again highlighted the problem of severe sex imbalance in the country, especially in 0 6 age group. According to Census of 2011, the sex ratio in 0 6 year’s age group has declined to 914 females per 1000 males as compared to 927 in 2001. It shows an increasing trend of male preference as compared to female in the last decade. The phenomenon of son preference is coupled with death of young females due to lack of medical care, under nutrition, female infanticide, and sex selective abortions. Sen 1992, 2003 first addressed the disturbing trend by highlighting that millions of females in India are missing because of widespread neglect in health care, nutrition and prenatal care. The steep decline in sex ratio in northern and western states is a cause of worry. Technological developments permitting sex selective abortions have seriously aggravated sex imbalance in these states. The trend of rapid decline in sex ratio has given rise to serious social, demographic and cultural problems. This present paper attempts to explain the causes for gender imbalance and its implications on the society as a whole. Chandrakant N. Kokate "Gender Imbalance in India: Causes and Emerging Issues" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-4 | Issue-6 , October 2020, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd34696.pdf Paper Url: https://www.ijtsrd.com/economics/financial-economics/34696/gender-imbalance-in-india-causes-and-emerging-issues/chandrakant-n-kokate
This document reviews literature on the nutritional awareness, dietary habits, and health status of college girls in India. It discusses the status of women in India, gender discrimination in health and nutrition, and how this affects nutritional status. Gender discrimination begins before birth and negatively impacts women throughout their lives. Factors like social status, education levels, employment opportunities, and legal protections influence women's health and access to healthcare. Discrimination leads to issues like low birth weight, malnutrition in girls, and an overall negative intergenerational impact on families and communities.
Sex Education to Indian Adolescents – Need of the Houriosrjce
This document discusses the need for comprehensive sex education for Indian adolescents. It notes that India has a large adolescent population but parents and society are reluctant to discuss sexuality openly. While adolescents are curious about physical changes during puberty, they lack guidance, leading some to seek information from unreliable sources like pornography. Sex education could help address issues like teenage pregnancy, sexual abuse, and India's HIV epidemic by empowering youth with knowledge about safe and responsible behavior. However, introducing sex education remains controversial in India. The document argues that a single chapter in the school curriculum could help address the lack of reliable information available to many Indian adolescents.
When girls and women are violated on the streets, in buses and in isolated mills, we feel naturally outraged. Yet, when they get abused, raped and victimized in the safety of their own homes, we remain unnaturally silent. Domestic Violence accounts for 50% of all reported crimes against women in India. One in every three women is sexually, psychologically and physically violated by her male partner. Many of these women are young brides, less than 18 years old who suffer in silence grappling with what society believes should be a private and guarded matter.

Sexual violence case on children in Indonesia is increasing significantly. There are some factors that is causing it, such as the nurture pattern deviation in family.

Toddler is the main target of the educational program. Material about sex education, that is adapted by the age of the toddler, begins from the third year or when phallic phase begins.

This document summarizes Emile Durkheim's theory of suicide from his 1897 book. Durkheim analyzed suicide rates to understand why some groups had higher rates than others. He identified three types of suicide: egoistic (from weak social integration), altruistic (from over-integration into a group), and anomic (from rapid social change causing imbalance). Durkheim believed social factors, not individual ones, caused suicide rates to vary. His theory used empirical data to link social solidarity, control, and suicide rates, establishing sociology's role in empirical science. However, it was criticized for neglecting psychological factors and relying on limited suicide data.
This document discusses various risks faced by Indian agriculture including production risks from factors outside a farmer's control like weather, price/market risks from fluctuations in input and output prices, financial/credit risks from long production cycles requiring anticipating expenses, and institutional risks from unexpected policy changes. It also notes agrarian unrest in India results from factors like relative deprivation compared to others, exploitation of farmers and tribals, coercion to grow commercial crops, increasing debt burdens, and anti-farmer government measures. Major challenges to Indian agriculture include rising input costs, soil exhaustion, groundwater depletion, climate change impacts, and effects of globalization.
Sex is biologically determined by X and Y chromosomes, which trigger development of either male or female internal reproductive systems before birth. Hormones like testosterone and estrogen then influence further physical sex differentiation and sexual maturation. Studies have found correlations between higher levels of testosterone and more masculine behaviors in both males and females, such as increased aggression and preference for stereotypically male toys. Sex chromosome abnormalities can also influence physical and behavioral traits, like Klinefelter syndrome causing feminine characteristics in XY males or Turner syndrome resulting in short stature and infertility in XO females.

The document provides a historical perspective on family welfare in India. It discusses:
1) In ancient India, women enjoyed equal status and rights, though this declined with Islamic invasions and the Mughal Empire. During the medieval period, women's position further deteriorated with practices like child marriage and banning widow remarriage.
2) During British rule, reformers fought to improve conditions for women and ban practices like sati and child marriage. After independence, India launched its national family welfare program in 1951 to reduce birth rates.
3) The program evolved over time from targeting demographic goals to focusing on meeting individuals' reproductive needs and integrating health services. It emphasizes permanent sterilization methods over temporary modern

3. Sociologically the word gender refers to the socio-
cultural definition of man and woman, the way
societies distinguish men and women and assign them
social roles. The distinction between sex and gender
was introduced to deal with the general tendency to
attribute women's subordination to their anatomy. For
ages it was believed that the different characteristics,
roles and status accorded to women and men in
society are determined by sex, that they are natural
and therefore not changeable.
Source: Wikipedia
4. Gender describes socially
constructed differences
between men and women,
boys and girls etc. Gender
is defined on the basis of
social norms, behaviors,
activities, relationship,
responsibilities which are
assigned by the society as
appropriate for male and
female (WHO, 2010).
7. According to the 2001 Indian census,
overall male-female ratio was 927
females per 1000 males. However the
2011 Indian census shows that there
are 914 females per 1000 males.
During the last decades the number
female children to male children in
the youngest age group fell from 945
per 1000 males to 927 per 1000
males.

13. The girl child becomes the victim
of discrimination and differential
treatment right from the time of
her birth. The birth of the male
child is welcomed with a happy
heart whereas that of the girl child
is met with depression, especially
if she is born after two or three
sisters. She is considered as a
weakness for the family, she is an
economic burden, a moral liability
that is defenseless against all types
of hazards in life.
14. parents of a girl are always vigilant regarding
her clothes, social relations, behavior, habits,
etc., and that they restrict girls in each and
every sphere. These restrictions are not
imposed upon their brothers. Behavior that is
acceptable for boys is considered inappropriate
Girls’ sitting, standing, talking, interacting
gestures are also considered important.
15. Girls should not talk loudly; they should not
stand with their hands on their hip. Generally,
their standing gestures/postures should not
look odd, or others will comment that they
stand like a male. Girls are often rebuked for
rushing to a place, jumping or running, etc. It
was observed that a girl should be docile in
manner and perform household duties very
promptly and graciously. She should not laugh
loudly.

16. From the childhood, girls are
encouraged to do the household
chores, such as washing dishes,
cleaning the house, cooking food,
collecting water from the nearby
ponds or tube wells, collecting
firewood, taking care of the younger
siblings, taking care of cattle, etc.;
they should know about agricultural
activities. Boys are encouraged to
look after fields, cutting firewood,
and to do work outside home, such
as marketing, metal working,
repairing agricultural tools, etc.
17. Discriminatory behavior of the
villagers in the allocation of food
resources was observed in majority
of the cases. Majority of the males
are served food before females.
The preference is given to the
males in the sphere of health. The
girls are treated locally whereas the
boys may be taken to the doctor,
especially in the low-income
families in which more than two
daughters are present, the boy's life
is more important as compared to
the girls.
18. First preference was given to male child for
serving the costly and special food such as dry
fruits, eggs and meat in rural background,
Whereas in urban background costly food was
mainly served jointly followed by adult male
and male child. In all cases women eat food in
the end. Ignoring adult female and female
children while serving notorious food
adversely affect the women.

21. The female child in India is
often deprived from her right
of an education. The numbers
of girl dropping out of school
far exceeds the boys because
girls are expected to help at
home, either with household
work like washing and
cooking or with taking care of
younger siblings
22. Parents prefer their sons over their daughter
because they are supposed to be the helping hands
for the parents. The boys are given education as it
is considered a sign of pride and prestige to educate
the boys (Ambreen and Mohyuddin, 2013).
A hidden fear in the minds of males is that after
getting education the females may start interfering
in the decision making process. They are kept
economically dependent on males no matter how
hard they work to contribute to the families income
Their work is not recognized as a part of
contribution to the household economy. They are
also deprived on share their property.
23. Since girls spend more time
performing domestic duties and this
increase the gap between female and
male equality in rural parts of India,
it perpetuates the myth that
education is of no help to the girl
and her primary job will be to the
household work, get married early,
have children and raise them. If this
is the job she has to do, then
education is of no importance to her
and it is no imparted.

24. 8.6 % people said their female
children of school age had
dropped out of school. The
reason given for the dropout
were lack of money (90.4%),
to enable them run errands for
their parents(31.3%), early
marriage (9.4%), trunacy in

29. While goddess are welcomed with open arms, our
doors are shut tight for girl child.
It’s a very common scenario in almost all
villages.
It has become tradition for some families to have
male children only.
Our sex ratio is : 943 females per 1000 males in
11 September 2015
30. Female foeticide is a unique form of violence against
women. The word “abortion” has meaning “Offensive”
and truly, the practice made to take away the wholeness
of a woman is an offense which resorts to taking away the
life of her own unborn child. in northern India social
group with strong patriarchal norms and high degree of
son preference predominantly represent higher economic
ladder. For instance, the natural biological laws of human
reproduction of mankind for balancing its natural sex
ratio, has been distorted by man-made norms, customs,
traditions, religious beliefs and more recently by
sophisticated medical technology to result lower sex ratio
in India
31. Obsession for son.
Fear of Dowry by many poor class families.
Girls are considered as financial obligation by many
parents.
Advancement in technology, nowadays parents
determines the sex of a child before birth.
Some of the doctors do this heinous act to fulfill their
money desires.
35. GBV is violence that is directed
at an individual based on his or
her biological sex, gender
identity, or perceived adherence
to socially defined norms of
masculinity and femininity. It
includes physical, sexual, and
psychological abuse, threats,
coercion, arbitrary deprivation
of liberty, and economic
deprivation.
36. Women and girls are the most at-
risk and most affected by GBV.
However, boys and men also
experience gender-based
violence, as can sexual and
gender minorities. GBV is rooted
in structural inequalities between
men and women and is
characterized by the use and
abuse of physical, emotional, or
financial power and control.

39. Laws under the Indian Penal Code (IPC)
Dowry Prohibition Act: any property or valuable (direct or
indirect) given before, at or after the marriage
Section 304B: Death of a woman within 7 years of her
marriage
Section 498A: When husband or his family subjects
woman to cruelty (“intentional” behaviour that causes
serious injury or harassment for dowry)
Section 376: Rape law
Section 294: Obscene acts and songs
Section 354: Intent to outrage a woman’s modesty
40. Raises awareness among women about their rights and laws.
Recruit men in the fight against gender discrimination. Gender
discrimination happens because people think that men are
better than women. It seems obvious that women would want
to change the system, but men are less likely want to give up
their position of power. When man take part in resisting gender
discrimination- by treating women with respect.
Implement policies that prohibit discrimination in the family,
society, workplace and school zones.
Provide women with access to legal representation and
opportunities to pursue justices against violence and
discrimination through the formal legal system.
41. 1. Start with your kids because children learn very fast. Let your
sons take care of house chores. Do not reserve chores exclusively
for your daughters. Having your sons perform house duties will
not only make them aware that housework applies to everyone.
2. Do not make excuse Sons and daughters should be held
accountable for their action in the same way. Is it okay for your
son to damage every piece of furniture in the house simply
because he is a boy? Is it okay for your daughter to clog the
bathroom sink with hair (and not clean up) daily just because she
is a girl?
3. Do not tolerate violence either way Do not hit her because she is
a girl. Many parents mean well by saying that to their toddler sons
but it can create another problem. By using the “because she is a
girl "reason, parents can cause their sons to only see a girl’s
gender instead of seeing her as a person first. In addition to that,
those same parents should not tolerate their daughters hitting their
sons. This would not be fair and could cause their sons to resent
women as they grow up.
