I Didn't Want a Daughter

Anchee Min, a world-renowned novelist, was born in Shanghai. When Anchee gave birth to her daughter, she admits she cried. I wanted a boy, Min says. Who wants to be a girl in China? This is a question that millions of women in China ask themselves: Because of the one-child policy, selective abortions have led to a situation where 120 boys are born for every 100 women in China.

The greater the obstacles, the greater the outcome and the stronger the person. Men have it easy. They are not as strong as women and have not had to struggle as we have. So it is all the greater success when a woman achieves great things because look at all she has had to go through to get there!

@Peanutlaady Women can't make as much for their family's as boys can, their families have to pay extensive dowries, which can be in the millions (usd).

I don't understand why people don't like girls. It takes girl to give birth to a man. If there were no girls then who would give birth to the boys. God didn;t only creat Adam, but he also created a woman. It takes two people to have a baby. No women then there is no way for a man to have a baby. Sorry but god did give men the ability to give birth.
