I think ya might be thinking "America" too much and not realize this is an international summit.
In a lot of nations, there is a MAJOR problem with sons being coddled. Like, to the point where malnutrition rates, illness rates, even death rates are way higher for girls because the male babies are valued so much more than the good babies. The girls are treated really sternly their entire upbringing, while the boys are spoiled because they have responsibility for taking care of their parents when they are older, and I've heard people literally explain it as, "They think that if they upset him then he won't take care of them later on." So they spoil the hell out of the boy, excuse all his indiscretions, give him every opportunity, etc.
I mean, there are actual countries and subcultures where a family will
for a son/brother/father who sexually abuses a child, even if the victim is another person in their own family, and do everything possible to cover it up. But that same family might kill their own daughter if she even had consensual sex outside of marriage. Of course not every place is like that, but there are levels to that shyt and even if they're not killing their daughters, they are still holding them to a completely different standard.
I've traveled enough to know exactly what she was talking about. And I'd bet you anything there be dysfunctional families like that in America too.
