What effect does family preference for boys have on children's growth?

Even though society and human beings have become civilized, some feudal ideas are still deeply rooted in some people's minds. For example, parents in some families insist on the concept of son preference, and this selfish behavior of parents deeply affects the growth of children. Boys will become spoiled because of their parents' doting, and even mistakenly think that men will be superior to women, and there is a high probability that they will not respect women when they grow up. Girls will feel inferior because of their parents' contempt, and even lack the ability to get happiness when they grow up because of lack of love.

Preference for boys is a concept left over from ancient times. In ancient times, due to the undeveloped high technology, people's life skills remained in the most primitive state. Therefore, men play an important role in society and family, so it is only inevitable that men are superior to women. Moreover, in ancient times, men also assumed the responsibility of carrying on the family line and supporting their parents, while women were generally unable to be filial to their parents when they grew up and got married, so the phenomenon of son preference is understandable.

However, with the development of the times, women's contribution to society and family has increasingly reached an equal position with men. Moreover, after the baptism of civilization, more and more people will no longer be immersed in the so-called feudal thought of carrying on the family line, but can understand that inheritance lies in blood, not superficial surnames.

However, even if most people in society can put aside old ideas and welcome more civilized ones, they still can't be accepted by everyone. There are still many people who stubbornly stay where they are, so these people have a bad influence on the growth of many children, and this influence is even lifelong. Boys and girls in this family will have a wrong understanding of the relationship between men and women because of their parents' thoughts, and they will not be able to deal with the opposite sex equally when they grow up. And girls will hate their parents for it.
