I think that Sandra Cisneros would say that boys and girls should be raised equally due to different standards that they are raised by. If i were to ask Sandra If teenage boys and girls should be raised with equal morals, I'm pretty sure that she will say yes.

One reason why she would say yes is because throughout history, men were considered to be superior to women. And in some cases, This ideal is still happening. On pg. 88 in the book The House on Mango Street By Sandra Cisneros , it says, "Nenny says she wont wait her whole life for a husband to come and get her." And on page 89 "There is always one with the red lips who is beautiful and cruel." Since the book was written by Cisneros, She implies that girls should embrace their feminine side but shouldn't let men control them and should maintain their independence. Yes some boys are raised to have the upper hand in the family and get the idea that women should dedicate their live to their husband. Due to this, some women are actually used to this idea.

Another reason why Cisneros would say that boys and girls should be raised the same way is because boys can be aggressive, Due to male aggressiveness, guys are temped in a way. And some guys are raised to be strong, Guys will then believe that they are strong enough to take over women.

This may seem hard to believe but it is not. On page 100 it says, "Sally make then stop, i couldn't make them go away..." This here shows that Esperanza cannot "defeat boys' power in society. She ant even overcome it. Clearly, men take advantage. This happens if boys are raised to be aggressive while girls are raised to be smart and to be a house wife. And a lot of the time, men who are aggressive  take over women even if they may be smarter. Its like that.

In many families a girl who is beautiful, must stay safe. Guys will always like a girl who is beautiful. Girls are raised to stay safe and sometime especially to stay away from sex.until their ready. If they happen to have sex, then they may be considered to be sluts. On the other hand, guys who have sex, may be considered to be cool. This is all due to the way boys and girls are raised.  But maybe, if both guys and girls are raised with equal morals, then it would be a whole different situation. This is why Sandra Cisneros would say that girls and boys should be raised equally with equal morals.
