I think those of us who get such siblings are so unlucky. I tried to explain it to my parents, but they were from Italian backgrounds with the view that guys had to be guys and girls had to be girls, and they blamed me for losing fights to her. They would say things like, “how could you lose a fight to a girl, you are the older brother,” and so on, which made me feel a lot worse and made me feel inadequate growing up. My self-esteem was very low growing up and is still low although better now.
