Why are parents so over protective of their daughters? than their sons

The question that i wonder alot and is why are parents worried to let theirs daughters stay alone or to let them out at night and what do you think may have caused this protection feeling with their daughters and not with their son?

Experianced this b4..i'm not allowed to go to sleepovers unless my parents(mostly my dad)knows the host REALLY well... i think this is because of sexism...(is that a word?)or maybe it's because parents love the girls more.I guess because parents think that boys are "stronger" and can defend themselves.Parents are more worried about the girls in the family because if you look around on the newspaper and on the T.V, most children that get sexually abused are girls. If this happens to you, don't feel like being a girl is bad- it simpley means taht your parents love you very much and they are trying to protect you. As long as they don't make you hold thier hand when you go to the shopping malls,embaress you in front of friends and family, or help you go to the washroom or take a shower, you're fine...

They always think guys are stronger than girls...but to me that is not true @ all... I think we're able to defend ourselves from danger. Or do parents realli like daughters better than sons?

i think the parents are usually more protective of girls than guys becuase they simply think guys are more capable of taking care of themselves. that guys can defend themselves better because they're thot to be stronger. but it isnt true. some girls are stronger then guys. they are just as capable of taking care of themselves as guys can. girls are looked upon as being weak or weaker then guys. its just not true and it gets me frustrated at times when people say it. i havnt experienced it, but i do believe parents ARE more protective of their daughters than they are of their sons. i dont kno the real reason why parents do this, because i havent become a parent yet. but that's why i think parents do so.

I feel that parents sometimes think that girls can more easilly be hurt or get into danger that they cannot protect themselves from. I think it is unfortunate that they think this way because i think that both girls and guys can defend themselves when needed.

It is true that parents are overprotective to their girls than boys. I don't this comes from the fact girls are weak but it is an inborn believe that in them that a girl is more prone to get hurt than a boy.
No matter how strong their daughter is, even if she can beat Tyson on the boxing ring, they will still try to protect her. The protective nature, as I believe, comes naturally and the feeling that girls are weak is in them thus will always be overprotective.
I believe the situation can never change. As long as we can get to make our own decisions, then let it be as they want.

I experienced this before. Parents usually don't let their daughters out go at night or even stay home alone. They are more overprotected to their duagthers than their sons. Parnets probably think that girls aren't as strong and they are easier to get hurt. they think girls arent as capable of taking care of themselves. Or simply maybe they just love their daughters more. Whatever their reasons is, they should be fair to tehir daughters and their sons. Guys and girls are both capable of taking or looking after themselves when they are either at home alone or out with friends.

Parents are just that way . when people get old they start hearing rumers and beleive all of them.Like I want to go to this high school Albert Camp-bell. My Mom hears all these rumers about kids getting shot there but thats all they are rumers.She doesn't give me any choice in the matter whhat's so ever. Parents are too over reactive .

parents, maybe they are overprotective and strict sometimes. but once you think about why thye are the way they are. and why they worry so much of you and sets curfews for you, you'll realize that they just really love you so much that they want to protect you in any way possible. ever since the hholly jones story, my parents just wants me home a certain time and call them whereever i am. and i dunt think thats overprotecting me because wut if the killer is still out there. we can all never be too careful. my parents just love me so much that they want me safe and happy and alive. mayb parents do underestimate girls a lot but thats because most of all sexual assult cases are based on young teens getting hurt. there are more girls being harrased than boys. i personally think wut my parents are doing and wut all parents are doing is right. they just want the children safe. you never noe who areon the streets just waiting to hurt you.

Gender Bias

Well I don't know how annoying this is as I come from a family of 2 girls. But I have seen it all happen before with my friend etc. I think it is because of gender bias against women all together. I mean we as a gender are looked at as being lower so why should it change in the family, it should change all through out society but I don't think it will yet, it is slowly happening bbut not fast enough.

I think that with a lot of mothers, they are afraid that if they were premiscuous at all when they were young, that their daughters may do the same thing. It's a lot to do with being insecure about their own parenting too.
Though that's not to say that they aren't trying to protect you too, there are certain limits that parents set to keep their children safe.
I know that a lot of us think that maybe it's just because they are trying to be 'unfair' and believe me I've felt it - but there are a lot of factors that come into play.

effects on boys

Thats why when boys are abused, physically, emotionally, and mentally and most of all sexually they do not report their abuse because society expects them to protect themselves while girls are expected to be protected by society, family and their brothers and male peers.
When they grow up, they carry with themselves the things they should have expressed during their childhood. Then during adult life, they start releasing them and get with their peers and drink, when they drink thats the only way all their hidden emotions from childhood burst out of proportions. And most often turned out to be violent.
Then men are blamed for their violent actions, while society with the active involvement of the family particularly the Mother had reared their boys as such that might have been prevented.
Our society must firmly take its stance to change or to deconstruct this subjective part of our culture that girls are weak while men are strong. Both boys and girls are physically, mentally and socially equal in terms of their development and capabilities as long as the society treats them equally in all matters.

John, I promise you there are a whole lot more young girls rape than the few boys who are and again of that number girls as a whole do not report those rapes because they blame it on their actions and the preditors play on that truth in chance of getting caught.
William you are on your on
Girls, pretend that I am a predator, I know You are already doing just that, I am just a little taller than average, I am a lot stronger all over than average, I am Old I know a lot of Stuff and I am on a really Neet Bike match pegs and looks heavy and says Fat Boy on the seat and I am riding in small circles and figure 8's real fast and some times I look like I get dissey or weak and even when I should have broke my neck I don't even get hurt and no matter what I am doing I drop it and fix what ever needs repairing or adjusting on your bike and near like 200 other kids can deal with my preaching (you are the only kid who knows what I am preaching), now admit it Girls you are All Scared, now You know why Little Girls need More Protecting no matter how Old She Grows,. me
