So far, are there any people around you who prefer boys to girls?

Yes, I feel that there are still people around me, including my own family, who prefer boys to girls. It's just that that kind of thinking is more obscure now. After all, society has been progressing, and their unhealthy and unrecognized thoughts are not obvious, but their words and behaviors cannot be hidden.

When I was in high school, the two girls who had a good time around me had younger brothers at home, but not just her and her younger brother. They all have other sisters. A friend of mine has four children, three girls and a boy, and the boy is the youngest. She told me that her father was very kind to her because she was the boss and her brother needed her help when he grew up. Her two sisters are not loved by her father, and the other is the youngest son, who loves her very much at home, and the best is waiting for him. This is a naked preference for boys, but his father never admits it and only says one word.

So is my best friend's family. She has a brother and a sister. At that time, family planning was not allowed to have so many children, but her father would rather be fined than have a son, and her brother was two years younger than him. She told me that her father was eccentric, but he didn't say that his brother would take the college entrance examination next year, so his father asked her mother to accompany him and find him as a tutor, but her father didn't come back when he took the college entrance examination last year. She said that the father felt from the bottom of his heart that his son should be well trained and he should have no regrets in the college entrance examination. His daughter doesn't need to be so good, but she will marry in the future anyway. Her sister is a precedent. She didn't study for a long time and her father ignored her. She wouldn't let her go further, but only let her marry someone from her hometown. Her father asked her the same question. She is not allowed to look far away, and she can't talk about other places when she is in love. Because in her father's mind, there is a difference between a daughter and a son. Isn't this a son preference in disguise?

Not only the two of them, but I later learned that several female students were originally only children, but by the time of senior three, their mothers were pregnant again and wanted to give them a younger brother. Several aunts are women in their forties, risking their lives to have a son, which is beyond my understanding. Perhaps it is the deep-rooted concept of these elders that it is more useful to have a son than a daughter. Including myself, my mother is worried that if my brother doesn't get married, he won't have children. No children, no offspring. She even told me that her brother felt that life would be hopeless without her grandson. I really can't figure out why people in modern society are obsessed with carrying on the family line and still have the idea of preferring sons to daughters. Obviously, boys and girls are the same, but I don't believe that with the changes of generations, most of us will definitely not have this idea when we become parents.
