From birth you are cradled with a different type of love like no other.
Your mother holds you with care than others.
You are treated like a baby with careful guidance,  yet the girls , we are forced into maturity as a child.
But you baby boy , you are allowed to do whatever.
Have babies as a teen, get tattoos and roam the streets. But us girls have to act, be seen and looked at as a young woman.
We are told we cant dress a certain way, were not allowed to do things you are.
You get to stay at home for as long as you want yet the girls were told we need to spread our wings and move forward.
Why double standards?
Baby boy you are loved so deep yet there is so much to be and do to  become a man.
