Boy V/S Girl

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?

Practice: In earlier days men used to go to work and women would cook and feed them. Men would sit in serious discussions but whereas women were not even allowed to come in and give an opinion. Post giving birth or even just after getting married a woman was expected to be an expert in Cooking and cleaning the house.To think in the most brightest side...May be(MAY BE) some of them thought that women are fragile to go out to work. Also the craze of Dowry and Jewels started to be the Final Icing on the cake.

Considering all this a mindset or ideology has been inserted inside the society that a woman anyway is
1.Too weak to run her family
2.Too weak to go out for work
3.Cannot talk boldly or opinionate as she has always been asked to go inside
4. We need to invest a lot for a girl....
5.A girls parent's cannot stay with her post marriage.
6.Our daughter cannot take care of us like our Son....
7.Blah Blah Blah
and since the male gender doesn't have this much of presumptions above them....a boy was/is/will always be preferred...But...but it's just half of the world that's running on this ideology....the other half have already moved forward or we can say"Started being normal"

Oh my....I've written too much...I have a boy btw 😁

Yes its still there in most parts of India
As for my husband and me we wanted two children and the gender didnt matter to us at all
But surrounding people guessed already that i will have a boy during my second pregnancy
I had a 4 year old daughter and someone just casually mentioned i dont have a boy yet
I got v offended and gave a lecture to my husband about this as this person was from his family
I had a boy later and husbands family was v happy but i was just ok as i knew they are happy about getting a boy I told my husband if someone ever says anything regarding gender again then you will pay for it lol
My parents dont care nor even expected me to have a second child Actually i never discussed such a personal thing with them But yes i was n still am little partial towards girl child Their love never changes with time and age

In our Indian society, if mom gives a birth to baby boy then it is considered as a matter of proud and lifetime asset as a bread earner but if it’s a baby girl then it is considered as lifetime liability and she needs to prove at every stage of life.
Being a mom of a baby girl, my daughter is a precious gift n blessing of god. It’s an asset for me and her dad and she completes us. God give girl child to his beloved couple only.
