the trouble with boys

This article, about the serious gender imbalance in China due to it's one-child policy and it's citizens' preference for boys, makes really me mad.

Well, not the article per se, but the whole situation. It kinda makes me think "they made their bed, let them lie in it - let 'em die out 'cos it's all their fault for believing girls to be so worthless".

Of course, what'd really happen is that females are kidnapped to be sold into wifery and it could be their fathers who reap the (monetary) benefits. Reminds me a little of Margaret Atwood's A Handmaid's Tale.

I found it at Angry Asian Man.
