A family invited us over for dinner. They had two children. A boy and a girl. The children sat beside their mother at the table. The girl helped herself with a few pieces of mutton (from the mutton curry). The boy did too. The mother removed a few pieces of mutton from her daughter’s plate and placed it in her son’s. She said: “Boys need to eat more mutton, cause they are going to need all the strength when they grow up.” The girl didn’t protest. She shouldn’t, because giving birth is as easy as the alphabet.

I can never get this out of my mind ever. This is very wrong and must be spoken against. Would like to hear your experiences.
