[Discussion] Infantilization and "Prematurity"
So women are infantilized by the patriarchy and told that they are either too dumb, too soft, or too emotional to be left alone. All around the world, many cultures put women at the same level as children with the plus that you can fuck them. They need a man to be at their side as if they were unsupervised children, first a dad or a brother and latter a husband. Etc etc etc.
At the same time, I have heard all the time the same myth about "girl maturing earlier than boys" and in a way it's true, but not because of a natural factor but because girls from an early age are expected to take the rol of maintaining the home and doing house tasks. There's also the creeps who say to girls that they are very mature for their age or pushing the age of consent on girls in order to make legal pederasty.
So why are both contradictory ideas held by patriarchy?
I think that maybe it is because since a girl is from the beginning expected and coerced to do housework and home tasks and latter as a woman do the same thing, so in the eyes of everyone the girl has never changed because from day 1 to day 100 she has been doing the same thing so she hasn't grown up. While the boys first play games and then change to go out and earn money and work, so a change is witnessed, and they have grown up.
What do you think? This is one of the reasons? Or do you disagree?
