I wonder if Vietnam also has an insanely antiquated notion that boys are better than girls, and girls are just killed upon birth...

I'm sure they'll go with the Manchurian solution.

I love how large parts of the world still think that half of humans are so inferior, they may as well not even be born. They don't seem to have thought their clever plan all the way through.

What do they think is gonna happen when they don't have enough hot Asian females for porn?

 
edmo 2009-07-02 10:53:39 AM  
And kill most of the girls anyway.

Really? I don't wonder.

Fewer Vietnamese girls? Now where will affluent Chinese bachelors get their mail-order wives?

Yes, Vietnam has tended to be 20-30 years behind China in social trends.

I love vietnamese women. Anh yew em

Nice Headline.

On a serious (kinda) note, it will be absolutely hilarious to see the instability caused by these retarded practices when these kids get to be past puberty. China and India have similar issues, so most of the Asian Continent will be affected by this gender imbalance.

There must be 600+ million in China alone. How many does the industry really need?

It's done through abortion not killing them at birth.

This is a problem.

When you have an overload of men, social stability suffers.

There will be a large group of males unable to find a mate, settle down or find sexual release.

This translates to violence.

A VERY bad situation.

They need ten for one scene alone to keep the insane screaming going.

HMS_Blinkin 2009-07-02 11:12:28 AM  
Rather than killing them, why don't all these Asian countries set up a new export deal, where they send us their extra, unwanted, hot young women? There are certainly plenty of middle aged and old men with Asian fetishes who would be willing to pay good money. Win-win.

It's not that they necessarily consider boys to be better...well they do, but it's more a matter of carrying on the family name and AVOIDING the expensive dowry you'd have to pay to marry off a daughter. Girls are just more of a financial burden under most of these traditional Asian systems (certainly that's the case in China) and poor families would much rather cough up for an abortion than for dowry + wedding expenses.

Well, violence & a skewed sex ratio sounds like a winning formula for population control -- so things may work out after all...

I said "hot Asian females." 600 million+ does not equal 600 million hot Asian chicks.

And is he a "he" without a y-chromosome? Or does wondering about that make me some kind of bigot?

I always wonder what the consequences of all the FEMALE PILLS flushed down the toilets and ends up in the water systems have in the Western countries?

That's a lot of estrogen!

Would that explains women in Western countries give more female births vs. male births ratio?

it's really farking with trout populations in some places, but I haven't read anything about it affecting human birth rates.

Human being are animal like trout so it logical to think it would affect us too.

If there's no findings on human affects, it's because no one has made a study on it yet.

Women in Western countries do not give birth to more females than males. In every country more males are born than females, the ratio is just artificially higher in some countries due to abortion. More males being born than females is a natural part of human reproduction.

As I recall it balances out because early death is higher among males: something like 51-49 at birth, 50-50 by late childhood-early adulthood, and significantly tilted female at old age.

It's because men are statistically more likely to be kidnapped by aliens.

You seem female. Seriously, though, I agree that this is lamentable. This sadly reminds me of the smart-ass geneticist's crack that "a chicken is just an egg's way of making another egg". Do these countries with subconsciously intentional girl shortages think the corresponding thing about their children?

What a proper attitude towards baby girls might look like: [new window]

They'll still have "ladyboys." and it's all pixellated worse than Mrs. Delfanti, anyway.

It's probably both, not that it makes any difference.
