Whether it's something as small as curfew, or something as big as future family planning — even our beloved parents aren't immune when it comes to gender bias.

For example, maybe your dad taught your brother to drive at 16, but said you had to wait until you were older:

Maybe you have younger brothers who ALWAYS got the benefit of the doubt, but your parents would never believe you:
