A Boy or a Girl? Does it Matter?

GENDER INEQUALITY Gender Bias in Parenting
A Boy or a Girl? Does it Matter?
A boy child & a girl child have been treated differently by Indian parents since ages. A desire of having a 'son' rather than a 'daughter' is still there in most parts of the country, especially the small towns! Do you agree with this ? Did you also want a 'baby boy' when you were pregnant? Why do you think our society has this preference for having sons & how can it be changed?

I do agree that there is a this urg of having a boy to girl baby in some parts of the country and things will be change only we wanted to change,despite social media and many other platform were doing my awareness program and being government providing lit of schema to protect girl baby their are still people longing for boy baby ,change can only happen only if the people taught process of people change and must agree that their are change in people about having girl baby comparatively.I was wishing for a girl baby but blessed with a boy baby, I was totally fine with any gender when I was pregnant.
