Today i saw a TV program about the unfair treat between boys and girls.In many districts,people always value sons more.In their opinions,if born a son,he will always stay in along the parents and help.and a girl will marry and leave early and late.and because the effect of the traditional ideology,a son is the honor of the family,and will have no face if born girls.and i believe it make hundreds of millions men can't find their wifes ten years later.and it will bring many serious society problems.even will cause the convulsion in society.
Does your county has this problem?what's your opinion?

What exactly is the benefit? A man can hardly bear children on his own. All he can do is work, but for what? What's the point of working if it's not for your family?

There was a time when people use to think boys are better than girls. But now things have changed. It has been proved that if girls are educated as good as boys then they can also get good jobs and can be successful in life. Girls are found to be more dedicated to everythng that they do in life. Girls take better care of parents in most cases. But the sad part is that as soon as girl is born, she is treated as a burden and not given equal chance. If parents are educated then they don't think negative about girls and educate them well. It is time for people to understand that there is no difference between boys and girls if they both are well educated and it is duty of every parent to see that girls are give good education and treated equally like boys.I hope atleast the coming generation will be different and will understand the importance of education in life of thier children.

There is a lot of unfair treatment with the sexes. There is going to be a woman's fair at one of our local convention centers, and I think it is a mockary on women. It is ridiculous. Men make fun of women because of things like this. Honestly, I am not like the other women you see out there. I love comic books, sci-fi, and sports. I dress like a slob sometimes, and I could care less what people think about me. People, you should all dare to be different and just be yourselves, to heck with what others think about you.

Our country doesn't have this problem. Girls will look after their parents and can take and keep the family name just as well as boys, so there isn't as much pressure to have a son to carry on the family name.

This problem has existed since so many centuries almost all over the world.But in recent times the trends have changed.It is still hoped by many that one should give birth to a son since he will always stay with his parents and a girl will eventually find her own family.But these days even the boys are not staying with their parents.Otherwise how do we have so many old age homes full with people.Everyone is busy with their own lives in USA and other similar countries. PErsonally,I don't choose between girls and boys.both are equally important in my opinion.

In my country, we don't care whether it is a son or a daughter. Except for the reason that the son will carry the family name, there's really no big deal. Women are treated equally as men. In fact, we already had two female presidents to prove my point.
