Cisneros point of view on why boys and girls should be treated are great opinionated points on how she feels about them, though she never tells it directly it is still visible and see able trough out the story. I agree on some cases on how she says how women are treated. At one part of the story though, she talks about a women named Marin. A quick summary of who she is, is that she is a woman that Ezperanza likes, she seems to have many life experience and shares them with whoever listens to her as in the book it said that she seemed to only get out of the house when her aunt comes home so I think the aunt is afraid and only lets her out when she knows it. But she also sells beauty product so she knows pretty much what boys want. But as Cisneros uses Marin as an example as to why boys and girls are different stated in this quote:
“What matters, Marin says, is for the boys to see us and for us to see them.”
Here I think she is saying that both boys and girls have a different view on each other so how can we be treated the same if we have different view on each other is basically what Cisneros implies. But as the stories prolong there seemed to be a sort of bias thinking in my opinion.
Another point of view on why boys and girls how they should be treated from Cisneros were implicated over at the vignette Alicia Who sees Mice. Another short summary of the character Ezperanza describes is Alicia, she is a Young adult probably around 18-21 who basically is left to take care of her father because her mother died but she is very smart because she is studying at a university. But she is afraid of mice which is kind of a bias thing against women as explained:
“Is a good girl, my friend, studies all night and sees the mice, the ones her father says do not exist. Is afraid of nothing except four-legged fur.”
Here I think it is bias because you know how women are often seen on cartoons to be afraid of mice, so I think it’s a bit bias when Cisneros says that she is afraid of mice and that’s why I think it gets bias later on in the story.
I am unclear about your thesis here...You say that "Cisneros point of view on why boys and girls should be treated are great opinionated points on how she feels about them, though she never tells it directly it is still visible and see able trough out the story," but you never follow through with what Cisneros' thoughts actually are. You have some evidence and analysis, but it seems to be about "bias," and not about how boys/girls should be raised, according to Cisneros. So I kind of don't see your main point here...
