Boys are more important then girls

Coming from a Portuguese family I understand that boys are consider more important then girls. But when my parents were raised here you would think that America is "suppose" to be equal. well in my case i guess not. i have a little brother who is sixteen and i am 18 and he is allowed to do more things then i can. example, today it has been shitty weather so i wasn't allowed out of the house, understandable. but my little bro gets to go out with his friends who aren't that great of driver in a shitty jeep. as it is i piratically don't have a social life because i go to three different schools. so on a snow day i want to spent it with friends, not home where i am if im not in school(s). my little bro also gets to stay out later then me, wtf is up with that? whatever i will finish county college early and move to California as soon as possible where i will be able to get away from my family and do whatever i want. peace!
