Well I did suffer abuse but what I described here was not abuse, however it was discrimination that I think is quite common for girls.


In fact I remember reading in a news story that many single mothers allow their sons to continue living with them rent-free in the basement because they want a man around for security and tasks like mowing the lawn. Whereas they are harder on their daughters and expect them to pay rent or leave. And how this is causing a gap in later prosperity for the sons vs. daughters, just as it did for me.
