Pfft. Hey, I like to use these kinda threads as a way to stretch and flex in the mirror.

I've seen a lot of threads that started out as turds and were polished into gold nuggets.

And I've only been here for like... a hot weekend.

...

I need to make a Maddox-esque T-shirt to wear in public:

"For every child you have... I will eat three."

Your knowledge of these kinds of things is a turn-on, MSD.

We have evidence of what happens when children are gotten rid of because of gender. China and India are both dealing with off ratios of male to female children.

From MSNBC I quote "From a relatively normal ratio of 108.5 boys to 100 girls in the early 80s, the male surplus progressively rose to 111 in 1990, 116 in 2000, and is now is close to 120 boys for each 100 girls at the present time, according to a Chinese think-tank report."

Even with 1.3 billion people, China is having problems because of gendercide from earlier decades.

There's a point being missed here. The situation described by the OP is purely political. It's not good for a place to have skewed gender distribution. Value judgments and philosophy aside, for what ever reason, people are aborting girls... If the population becomes 80% male, everybody is pretty much screwed.
