“ At some point I realized that boys and girls are taught differently about how to keep their intimate regions clean. My mother placed great importance on the hygiene of my pussy but none at all on that of my brother’s penis. He’s allowed to piss without wiping and to let the last few drops dribble into his underwear.

There is some truth to this. Society always place standards on girls to make sure she presents herself as clean. The same standard is not imposed upon boys. A girl has to sit herself down all prettily on the toilet seat (by pretty I mean uncomfortably), do her business, and then carefully wipe away any possible residue that might taint her undies. Boys when they piss unzip, do his business standing up, and walk away. They can even do it in a bottle if they so desired. Oh the dichotomy.
