Whoever is a girl usually goes through a lot of these situations [of gender inequality] and it's really hard to deal with it at home, because whenever we say it at home, they give it back. 'But you have to respect me, because I am your father, we are your parents.' And sometimes you do not know if you put it right and then they think you're trying to challenge, you're just trying to fight. They understand it as if it's just a fight and they end up not arguing. They only say that we have to respect, because it is father and mother, right. At that time the families were conservative and I think that's why. By putting myself in their position, the way they lived before, I believe it is very difficult to make this relationship of the world now, you trying to protect, because it is dangerous.
