Singer, Simi gives her take about raising a male child

Singer, Simi recently gave her view about how parents of the old generation raised their girls to be morally upright but allowed their boys to raise themselves.

Taking to her social media platform, she wrote:

“Many of our parents raised their girls and let the boys raise themselves. This is why lots of people think boys are easier to raise. If their boys fumble. They say “boys will be boys”. If the girls fumble the exact same fumble, they say she’s wayward or she wasn’t raised right. Hence, more effort is put into raising girls.

Hence, more effort is put into raising girls. She’s taught to be a good wife, a good mom, prudent, enduring, faithful, perfect- or whatever society’s version of perfect is. Men are taught to make money and provide. The pressure to make good decisions is more intense for women. Men are usually able to make whatever choices or mistakes and to take more risks because society will excuse them – because “boys will be boys”.
