Maturity

This. My aunt has twins (one boy and one girl) and they don't even let the girl talk loudly, while her brother is screaming his lungs off and runs naked most of time, they are 4.

They say girls are mature only when it comes to being sexual. Making own decisions, being listened to, trying to find own place in the world, taking a leadership role? Nope, not allowed. Just sit quetly, be predictably well behaved and smile. Usually even grown women are being patronized like children, that's why some old creep saying she's ”mature” for her age as a cope for being a pedophile is somehow so deceptively attractive to young girls. Finally being taken seriously, but sadly for all the wrong reasons.

Girls are prone to being idealistic, impulsive, rash and reckless decision makers far into mid-twenties, when their prefrontal cortex is done developing and most of them see enough of bullshit going on to recognize and avoid it effectively. That's why truly mature women are being hated and feared, being painted as villains, as they have wool pulled off from their eyes and minds and can finally see the truth and share it with others.

Its true. Which is why my girlfriends are successful and their men cannot measure up to them. My cousin who is older than me asked me to not tell him about my grad school acceptance, because he's jealous that we are following similar paths, yet I'm ahead of him.

And one of the worst part is that girls are taught to tolerate boys immature behaviour. If he's mean it means he likes you. If you're offered a gift you must accept it. If he rejected you then something is wrong with you etc.

Its funny how we're expected to have the wisdom and maturity of an older woman but not the body of one.

finally!

as some other women here wrote, society pushes this notion only when it suits men. It also dumps responsibility on young girls from early on and sometimes, it parentifies the girl-child. Girls of 12 were told to look after their siblings and do chores and cook, clean etc, while boys of 12 were still allowed to play and continue to be... you guessed... "boys".

Periods don't make a girl of let's say, 12, more mature or a woman. Mentally, she is a child and she is now even more vulnerable because of a physiological process and how it is viewed by society. yesterday she had no idea what periods are and after they got one, they are supposed to be "women", "mature", aware of herself... right. What a farce!

Girls are forced to "mature" because a sick society looks at things in black & white, denying multiple shades of grey. It pigeonholes young girls to either be infantilized or sexualized. Or sometimes both. Their insecurities and fears are exploited and accentuated. If they wanted to make the world a safer place for girls and women, they could have done that centuries ago. The truth is that things are the way they are because it benefits men and it discredits women. And young girls are the first to be discredited.

Pre-teen and teen girls become marketing targets and the category that "everyone loves to hate". They are called names, they are practically bullied by the media and the fashion & cosmetic industry, their fears & insecurities are used to milk the cash cow. They are supposed to be the responsible ones while society allows "boys to be boys". How unfair!

💯

When boys are rambunctious: “he’s all boy! Haha!”

When girls are rambunctious: “Stop that! Go play quietly with your dolls.”

BTW I loved dolls but I also loved jumping on furniture.

it really is such a process to undo all the brainwashing. it's so subtle. and we accept so much of it as fact and how things are supposed to be and our 'natural behavior' or whatever

Glad my parents always allowed me to be goofy and silly growing up. Though I did get shit on by other people for it, because people therefore think you are “stupid”.

Reminds me of that one time where my college boyfriend's mom told me to make sure he did his homework.

lmao no

Aww thanks for the award

Can I get an amen on this? I knew when someone told me that at the age of 13 it wasn’t a compliment.

Awwww....I kind of like the idea that we mature faster 😉
