how can an educated woman use such comments even while joking? one of my friends was telling me the story of how some woman are boycotted when they cannot give the family a boy or the husband is forced to marry another lady, PATHETIC 🤢 🤢 🤢 there are some communities where the birth of girl is considered a blessing. wish subcontinental people could think the same

well ..in west it is still male dominating society... so till this change .. wish for a boy is not going to change either ..even in west attitude of father or rather you can say emotions of a father is almost same towards their daughters. . What I always feel .. for men to keep a woman is showing a kind of strength over others ..but to have a daughter who eventually be taken away by another man is some how not so desirable .

I know. I love my daughter and that thought makes me😭😭😭. I am going to be one of those mothers who drops in unannounced at daughter's house pretending to help and never leave😆.😳

IMO, the mindset of our society is inflexible. We are educated enough to earn good money and intellectual talk but ignorant enough for not using it in practical life. I term it as "Greatest Tragedy of 21st century"

Will post more later...Iftar time!! 😳 ....send some sweets here😳

All over the world primary preference is for at least one child of each sex and sons are preferred as first-born children. I read somewhere that boys are consistently favored over girls, given the hypothetical one-child-only limit, though the strength of that preference has waxed and waned over the years.

Having said that , a second or third girl child can obviously be dissapointing to some, however parents generally overcome the dissapointment sooner or later. It is what it is and history and genes might have something to do it with it. Can't blame parents for wanting their child to have the best life possible , boys/men usually end up having better life then girls/women although the world is changing and is not quiet there in terms of equality between the sexes. Also the carrying of name and lineage / legacy has been attributed to boys and I am amazed at Ambani sons, AB jr , Hrithik roshan, Sunny/bobby deol, Saif ali khan to name a few able to successfully carry their parents legacies then their sisters could with the exception of Kajol, kareena and karishma who come from all girls family.

Again probably the same reason. Shweta was married off earlier to a rich, well-settled family whereas Abhishek got all the chance in the world to prove himself. Dharmendra launched his son Sunny in a huge way whereas he married off his two daughters to well-settled people in US. Dhirubhai left no will and under HUF law the property rights are equally shared by wife and sons but not married daughters😕. Also same with his daughters' case, married them off.
