Yeah, I agree. I’ve said something similar in the past - I think women are raised to be adults by 18, whereas boys are raised to be overgrown tweens by 18, and their parents call it “good enough”, leaving the rest of the job to future girlfriends and wives.
It does everybody a disservice, and it perpetuates this idea that girls mature faster than boys. We don’t. We’re just forced to grow all the way up and boys aren’t.

Thanks for your comment, but unfortunately this community is for women only. Hope you understand 🧡
This is a really interesting take - I hadn’t considered socioeconomic class as a covariate!
Can confirm, as a trans woman who’s only now starting to come out (and therefore raised as a boy) I am an absolute lady child.
Glad to break those glass ceiling sis, gib me chickie nuggies on my zoo pals plate.
You’ve nailed it. It’s so damn frustrating!!
