I don't have any hard-and-fast rational view of it. It just strikes me as defining gender more important than personal potential.
Above all else it's stupid.
I mean, yeah I get why, some of these families want males who will "carry on the family line". They seem to forget though, a shortage of females makes that kind of impossible to do. Stupid logic.
Oh well I guess more males will have to be gay, which I'm not complaining about hehe

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
