“In China, India and numerous other countries (both developing and developed), there are many more men than women, the result of systematic campaigns against baby girls.”
“In India there are 112 boys born for every 100 girls. In China, the number is 121—though plenty of Chinese towns are over the 150 mark. China’s and India’s populations are mammoth enough that their outlying sex ratios have skewed the global average to a biologically impossible 107. But the imbalance is not only in Asia. Azerbaijan stands at 115, Georgia at 118 and Armenia at 120.”
“What is causing the skewed ratio: abortion. If the male number in the sex ratio is above 106, it means that couples are having abortions when they find out the mother is carrying a girl. By Ms. Hvistendahl’s counting, there have been so many sex-selective abortions in the past three decades that 163 million girls, who by biological averages should have been born, are missing from the world. Moral horror aside, this is likely to be of very large consequence.”
“If you peer hard enough at the data, you can actually see parents demanding boys. Take South Korea. In 1989, the sex ratio for first births there was 104 boys for every 100 girls—perfectly normal. But couples who had a girl became increasingly desperate to acquire a boy. For second births, the male number climbed to 113; for third, to 185. Among fourth-born children, it was a mind-boggling 209…”
“Today in India, the best predictor of violence and crime for any given area is not income but sex ratio.”
About The Author
Traditionally, and partly by socialization, it has been the males who fight, go to war, and commit rape. Mind you, many males are sweet, gentle people who don’t hurt anybody, if they can help it. But there’s still the stereotype. The females have traditionally stayed home and raised children. They have always been thought of as as the nurturing gender. In any event, even with the advent of the working woman, it’s the women who bring forth life from their bodies.
According to stereotype, you have the fighting, killing, and raping gender vs. the life giving, nurturing gender. Does that tell you something about people and cultures that hate the female and only want males? Anti-female is anti-life.
