I have 3 girls and a boy and they are right, the boys get to do all the cool stuff. My girls beg to do things all the time. I sometimes wish there was something similar to the Boy Scouts for the girls. What is available now is laughable. We do trips and other things for them, but they still feel jilted. We do lots of music stuff, camping trips, Cape Canaveral trip one year, and one is saving up for Space Camp. There are lots of clubs and one daughter is on a robotics team of 10. She can hold her own with the boys no problem.
