son vs daughter

I dont know if this happenes in every family..but certainly does in mine. Why is it that the son's are treates so differently from daughters? My brother starting when he was in the 11th grade was allowed to stay out late whenever he wanted for how long ever he wanted as long as it wasnt a school night. Where as on the other hand in the 9th grade I wanted to go see a school play but was not allowed to go because it ended at 9. Also for High School Prom, my parents were so happy that my brother asked a girl to prom, and for me they forbid me to have a date to prom, even thought he was my best friend since the 8th grade and they met him plenty of times. My mom refused to even discuss the matter with my dad, she said be happy you are even going to prom.

Even now, knowing that I stay out late when Im dorming at stony brook, as soon as I enter home the parental trap is back on. Last summer I wanted to go to my friends party at Stony Brook, my parents actually let me go which was a shocker in its own, but I had to be back by 11. I asked if I could just sleep over and they said no. Even though I dorm there during the main sessions. My brother on the other hand used to come back at 5 am, all he had to do was wake up my parents whenever he got home, so they can know.

My brother has also gone to Miami, Vegas, Los Angeles for a complete week each time. All I wanted to do was go to Pokonos for a weekend with my friends for my best friends birthday. Again, I was not allowed to. I went regardless, had to lie, but my main point is why is it that boys are treated differently than girls. Why did my parents put me in all these self defense classes so I can always defend myself if they werent going to let me out in the first place.
