misoriyu said: @masterarthurus women mature faster in cognitive and emotional areas, to the point where girls’ brains can mature up to 10 years earlier then boys. in other words, this is nothing but a cop-out for addressing sexism.

misoriyu said: @masterarthurus and also, that’s just complete horseshit. the reason girls mature faster is because they go through puberty earlier. but going through puberty means going through all types of changes, including mentally, emotionally, and physiologically. you can’t go through puberty and come out with only physical changes. you’re gonna come out of it, in terms of emotions and intellect, completely different.

misoriyu said: @masterarthurus why would they be commenting on children’s bodies? and why would commenting on children’s bodies be so common that it becomes a modern saying? [2]

misoriyu said: @masterarthurus if you’ve ever actually heard or used this phrase before, this physical maturity bullshit wouldn’t make sense at all. “girls mature faster” is a saying used in the same way as “boys will be boys.” they’re not trying to emphasize how fast girls grow, they’re saying boys stay immature for longer. literally just think about it. this phrase is used mostly by teachers and people who have lots of interaction with kids.
