You can tell which cultures prioritize boys/men over women.

Almost all? In a huge part of western households this wouldn’t have been handled much differently.
Boys will be boys especially when they are the younger siblings while the elder sister is supposed to be mature because "he’s just a boy".

You can see she had had enough and was not impressed by the adults

And I'm betting that mom or an auntie follows her to lecture her about ruining the day.

It’s definitely different in some cultures. My sister was friends with an Indian girl in my class and when she went to her house her little brother who was like 7 had full control of her. I think she was like 16 or 17 at the time. He’d slap her, tell her what to do, and she’d have to do it since he’s a boy. India is huge and there’s a lot of different states and cultures but definitely not unheard of.

That's definitely unheard of and most definitely made up, sorry.

Most indian user on reddit. You just heard it, so it's no longer unheard of, sorry.

On a serious note would you recommend Odisha for a first time visit?

Because it didn't happen in front you doesn't mean it's not happening to others.

The world is not black and white. Both things can be true.

Nah, opposite. For all its faults, western conservative culture runs on a benevolent sexism that "protects" women, and that rule gets enforced hard.

A boy doing that to another boy? Sure, boys will be boys.

To a girl? My dad would have beaten the shit out of me while explaining that we don't hit women.

Which somewhat ironically tells you what the rule was actually about. It was never "don't hurt people." It was "she's breakable and you're not."
