as a young sisters growing up in USA, i guess you can say
that im not the perfect daughter or yet teh perfect muslim..but i have
been learning and alhumidAllah i think im getting there. However, as i
watch my other muslim families and saw that the parents can care less of
what teh son does and get so angry at a little thing the daughter does.  
Why is that teh daughter hold the families rept. and the son can just
lazy around and date and smoke.  But, if the daughter was ever caught
smoking, her parents would probably scream and yell at her forever. I
know some families dotn ahve this..but it is the majority of the muslim
families in the world.  I feel the son and daughter have the saem
responsibilty..if both smoke they should get the same punishment...i dont feel
it is fair how sons are given more liberity to do the worse things then
teh daughter

And yes, the daughter is fragile and she needs to be protected..but you
have to admit brothers, the daughters and girls in are much better
muslims then the boyz in general..

I was once talknig to this hindu girl, she said that in her
culture/religion the boy is given the chance to do whatever ie. date, smoke,.
(this may or may not be true..but that isn ot the point.....) She then said
"just like in islam, the boy is allowed to do whatever he feels liek
it"
I was shocked..i said no! both girls and boyz arent supposed to do that
stuff..but seh saw teh same thing im writing about....

Sons are given relaxed punishments and limits then the girls..

they should have the same

I totally agree...I've seen this happen too.  In my case, having a younger sister placed all the resp. on me, i remember when we were little and used to fight my mom would always hit me, and of course i'd be like "she started it!" and my mom would be like "i don't care, you're the oldest and the man so you're resp." so then as we grew up we would watch out for each other like "if you do this i'm gonna tell" so we had to behave or else face the wrath...

So see, when we start having and raising children we should know and teach them that they are all equally resp. just how we all will be on the day of judgement.

Asalaam alaikum,

If I remember correctly Gladiator has some stories as well, but he might be too afraid to share for fear of retaliation. :(
