>Does daughters become Men too?

Nope, Kipling would have written differently for daughters if he
had written anything at all at a time when it was a man's world
with women left at home to raise a large family when childbirth
was limited only by nature.

Now we have the Nuclear Family or childless, marriage-less marriages
where fewer people know who they belong/belonged to or who their real
fathers and mothers were.

The New Society has new writers...not Kipling.

HooRoo,
