Exactly.

Over in China if you know you've only got one shot and the tech is (illegally) available I guess people are more willing to go to extreme measures. In Taiwan if you wind up with a daughter you don't want I guess she just winds up being a betelnut girl or something... The one child policy probably has something to do with I guess.

In Taiwan if you wind up with a daughter you don’t want I guess she just winds up being a betelnut girl or something…

Taiwan is right next to China and if gender selection tech is widely used there I'm pretty sure it's made it's way over the strait into Taiwan too. Mind you I'll probably be too old to suffer the consequences of everyone opting for male babies but that doesn't leave me any less concerned. Good time to be a gay guy though.

When I hear about whole cultures wanting more boys than girls I feel very second rate and unwanted. You’ve got my argument down pat.
