To some extent I do agree, however Do you think it's easier for a mother to raise a daughter or a son? A mother can teach a girl how to become a woman, but has to improvise on how to teach a son how to become a man. But I do agree with you. A large amount of the black women I grew up with were pretty much protected, while the black men had to learn by trial and error. My mom told me that boys are easier to raise than girls (I don't know if that's true or not), and me and my brother were a cakewalk compared to my sisters. Many boys aren't given that many restrictions and are pretty much are given carte blanche to make mistakes, while girls aren't allowed to experience making their own mistakes. While boys make mistakes on their own, it's rare that they can have someone that's around to correct their mistakes. A lot of black boys, young men these days are on some BabyBoy ish. A lot of girls are protected from making mistakes, which however can also cause a backlash. A lot of black girls I knew that were what I call "lockdown" went out of control senior year, and freshman year in college. The way I see things is that black young men and black young women are both loved and raised, but parents usually "let go" of the boy a lot quicker, thus letting him experience life on his own a little. A lot of girls are still on lockdown even after they go out in the world, as parents try to protect girls from making mistakes. Just my opinion, feel free to disagree
