GENDER INEQUALITY Gender Bias in Parenting

Boy V/S Girl

A Boy Child or a Girl Child have been treated differently since ages. A desire of having a 'Son' rather than a 'Daughter' is still there in most parts of the country.Does it really matter for you? Why do you think our society has this preference for having Son rather than Daughter?

In reply to swati

personally, I believe both are equal. I am mother of two kids, my elder daughter is approx 6 years old and my son is approx 2 months old. My husband preference was girl for our 2nd child too, but society always wants a boy they make joke of us.
Even my mother-in-law was surprised by the difference of phone call received after the birth of my daughter and son.
My daughter was the first child in my entire family but the number of phone call at the time of birth of my 2nd child i.e my son was very high as compared to my daughter birth.

My daughter is only girl child in her maternal and paternal side followed by her 6 cousin (male).
Still everyone dreams for a boy in their family

Their is preference for boy over girl, whether we are in 2020 or 1920.

I would have stopped answering the phone to the relatives, or deviated the conversation to other topics.

my first child is baby boy but now I wish that baby girl because girls are given to lucky parents,,i too want a baby girl,,but their is no difference between boy or girl,,both are equal to me, and what society thinks is no matter, only matters is how your keeping in Decipline, caring, loving in good society,, nothing but how you are raising your children matters.. alot
