In an episode I saw the other night, the mother was going on and on about the innate differences between boys and girls and how she isn't pressuring the girls to be housewives and let their husbands be the heads of the family and breadwinners, it's just that all her girls WANT that.
Now I can accept that there is a proportion of women who do want that. I have a good high school friend who got married as soon as she could (didn't finish her degree) and already has 3 kids with her husband and they're very happy. But you cannot tell me that all EIGHT of her girls want that and have absolutely no other aspiration in life whatsoever. That's just BS. Those kids have no idea about the world outside their front doors, and that's a real pity.
I agree it's a damn shame b/c honestly these kids seem way more well-rounded than I'd expect considering their circumstance. They seem smart and responsible so they could go far if they tried...
I was glad to see that the girls were giving each other perms, wearing make-up, jewelry, etc. Most of the time now they are looking like "normal" teenage girls, really pretty too. I was a bit disturbed and worried for them after the episode where they showed off their "modest" swimwear
