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 never wanted a boy as my first child . But i guess people are still very conservative that a boy always takes a step further to his parental family. Well i am very lucky that in my house nothing is lyk this .

nothing is going to change unless the tradition if giving dowry is changed only then they will feel happy when cost of marriage and cost of delivery are bared by both sides equally this will change till then it continues.... having a wish is fine but saying you dont want a specific gender is wrong...

Dowry is not the case now-a-days it is about the security of a girl. We all hear news about the rapes, acid attacks, abuse and what not....I think that is the reason girls and boys are treated differently. Really we need law enforcement in place.
As parents, it really doesn't matter if it's a girl or boy child. all we want is a healthy and happy baby.
And also as parents it is our responsibility to ensure that they are getting right values and principles. They should learn to respect and love others.

It doesnt matter even if its a girl or a boy .I totally disagree with the above statement. I strongly had a like for girl not only because I could dress her beautifully but I could give her all the strength and boldness to live in this world where girls are abused and exploited. I want to mould my baby girl to a strong lady like my mother who was bold enough to stand in her own decisions with a head which has not bowed infront of anyone.

I think it's high time government should start registering every female fetus on records for follow up

1)No,I didn' t agree
2)At the time of my pregnancy,I never thought about having a boy or a girl because I'm satisfied with whatever I have since it's God gift to me.
3)Most parents in our society prefers a male child rather than female as they thought that male child can brings fortune ,invest more and can support the family,whereas a female child can only bring disgrace to the family.
4)We can change this gender bais by creating awareness among parents on the importance and the rights of a girl child.
