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?

I'm blessed with both girl and boy. Both are my precious. Bt I prefer girl more, as they grown up girl child are more affectionate than boy. In our old ages girl child support us more in terms of love.

I am also blessed with both . . . Big Boy and Lil Girl . . . And i agree with this, that girl is neccessary/must in house. . . Because Girl is laxmi and doll of our House . . .

and answer to the question how can we change it..
mentality of people already started changing due to literacy and the cases around us where sons don't tolerate their old parents and leave their parents in old age home...where as daughters never do this...so time is changing,so is mentality...

I do not support this kind of mentality..
the reason why many people in our society wants to have baby boy is,
1)boy will take care of them when they are old

2)boy will be heir or successor of the family who will take their family name forward
