And that is an expectation that just doesn't exist in the same way. voice-verified

For men. voice-verified

I'm gonna provide three examples to begin with of how this presents itself at every single stage of society. voice-verified

Firstly, in school. voice-verified

Disruptiveness when we're at school from from boys is expected and voice-verified

It's almost seen as part of their learning process or playful and boys being boys and you know voice-verified

It's fine, whereas disruptiveness from girls is seen as disrespectful, it's seen as rude, unexpected. voice-verified

Girls are also expected to police boys' behavior. voice-verified

You know, if a boy is loud and misbehaving voice-verified

Have a guess who is who he's sitting next to. voice-verified

You know, most likely if it's not the teacher, it's a nice good girl, his same age, who's gonna rub off on him, even though that's not really her responsibility. voice-verified

She's not his mother. voice-verified

She's not a babysitter. voice-verified

She's his peer. voice-verified

But she's a good girl. voice-verified

And she's gonna sit nicely and politely and she's gonna do it. voice-verified

And she's maybe even gonna feel proud. voice-verified

Of this maturity and proud of this d of this duty. voice-verified
