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
Without trying to derail the thread, I just want to add that I think the idea of the family being carried through the male lineage is lame, and an artifact of male-created legality, which means that family names are inherited through fathers, normally.
Both genders carry on family lines -- it takes two to tango, and all that jazz.
I'm not attributing that attitude to you, by the by; I understand that you're commenting on the desires of those families, and not endorsing them.
