Forbidden from attending social events without a chaperone, can't live with a man before marriage, and people are shocked to learn they have several GCSEs.
This might sound incredibly old-fashioned for many of us, but it is how TikTok stars Lizzy Mac, 20, and Caitlin, 18, describe their world.
The Irish Travellers, who have racked up more than 440,000 followers on TikTok, have won people over with their honest description of everyday life.
And they've made it their mission to eradicate outdated stereotypes about their community - having previously been refused entry to holiday parks and finding themselves barred from restaurants.
Neither of them is looking to get married soon and hit back at the treatment they've received over the years because they are travellers.
In an interview with The Sun, Caitlin said: "We have been treated like dirt.
"People will call us names as well, like Pikey, Dosser, Tinker, Gypo, and Knacker - but we are just humans.”
The sisters, who want to work in showbiz, live in a caravan near Hertfordshire and have never had boyfriends and won't date before marriage.
In a video series about their lives on TikTok, Caitlin admitted that most women in their community don't work.
She said: "I feel like one out of 100 Traveller women actually have a job and go to work because they mostly leave it down to the husbands.
'We don't really go to work. I know people that have been to work."
But the duo hopes to turn their social media, from which they earn about £200 a week, could become their career.
While growing up, the pair say they have faced discrimination because they are Irish Travellers.
Caitlin said: “We have also been barred from most pubs, restaurants, food shops, nail and beauty salons, leisure centres and social clubs - and it is not right.”
They say they were refused entry to Pontins before after the holiday park in Southport allegedly said they were overbooked.
In February, it emerged that the company kept a blacklist of 40 common Irish surnames - such as Boyle, Gallagher, McGuiness - to ban travellers.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission recently ruled the holiday firm was "directly discriminating on the basis of race".
The sisters say they have been routinely turned away from restaurants or pubs and it's difficult to find a wedding venue that accepts Travellers.
But they do face strict rules - neither of them have travelled abroad without their parents and won't do so until they are wed.
They hit back at assumptions that everyone gets married young or enters an arranged marriage.
In a TikTok series dispelling myths about their lives, Lizzy explained: 'Everyone assumes all travellers get married at 14 or 15. Some do get married at 14 or 15, maybe not 14, maybe 15. Some get married 18, 19, 20, you can get married at 25.
"But it's more common to get married in your teenage years. And it all depends on when you meet them.
"Some get married two months after they know them, or five years after they know them. You can't put a time to a person."
The sisters have 10 10 GCSEs each, grades A to C, and say their parents were keen to ensure they received a full education.
Lizzy said it is a "big myth" that Travellers don't go to school and people assume that she can't read or write.
In another TikTok, Caitlin, who is studying hair and makeup at college, said: "'I finished primary school, secondary school, I'm in college right now, I completed all my GCSEs.
"Some will go to school, some won't, but it's more common for them to not go to school.
"I think it just depends on the family whether they want to send them to school. Most likely no, because that's not the line of work that Traveller boys or girls go down."
The sisters say that TV shows such as Channel 4’s My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding paint a distorted picture of the community and create outdated stereotypes.
Lizzy said: "Tarnishing all Travellers with the same brush is a stereotype I hope all non-travellers can overcome one day.
"We are humans - we are not going to start a fight. Don’t judge a book by its cover, no matter what religion or race, or ethnicity. That is discrimination and it needs to end."
