This goes with what I've been saying for years about how banning telling the parents the sex/gender (yes, same thing) of their child will decrease abortions. However that is not the issue here. This touches on the financial, ethical, and social ramifications of choosing a boy over a girl on purpose or vice verse.
It tries to mention in one chapter how it is tempting to see China's feticidal as sexist, then tries to explain how it isn't b/c girls were allowed to be born when needed, but that's been revoked. How is that NOT sexist?
Even in the USA female feticidal is condoned. One thing I strongly disagree with is that everywhere in this book it is mentioned that 'unattached/single males' are the problem. That's sexism if I ever heard it! So married men don't rape? Really? WRONG! Or it's the idea that if he's married he owns his wife and she cannot/should not say no. This needs to stop.
Rapists are the problem, single or married. The problems toward women will increase until we stop allowing sex selection. It's immoral, it's sexist, and it will ruin this world.
