And many girls are still brought up to defer to men and male decision-making. Esp. in religious families.
They dont learn to ask for what they want or need, not to mention that mothers are generally expected to sacrifice their own personal needs for those of their families.
I agree with this. It's a double standard to call a woman, especially a mother, selfish. It's the ultimate insult to suggest she doesn't put her children before her. A man can put himself before his children and wife. A man can get away with being selfish and childish moreso than a woman, but that also leads to negative stereotypes of men being dumb, idiot husbands who don't know how to parent.
