There are nearly 20 percent more single men than single women in Korea, according to a Monday report from the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs (KIHASA), matching a historical preference for sons.
The increase of male births can be linked to a historical preference for sons, a decline in birth rates driven by gender selection preferences and advancements in technology, such as ultrasound, that facilitate gender selection, according to the report.
The report also emphasized that the prolonged period of a skewed sex ratio at birth since the 1970s has had a significant impact on marriage rates. Regions with high marriage rate imbalances are characterized by particularly skewed sex ratios at birth during the 1980s and 1990s.
So basically a lot of people saw a vagina in the ultrasound and decided quit and restart the level.
I know of two couples that went to get IVF in China/Korea. Both got to choose the gender of the baby - aka they just test and insert the one that ticks the box.
I was told in Asian society the women marries into the males family and basically forsakes her original one. So patents need males to take care of them when they are okd. I dk if it’s BS.
I know That’s a fairly common experience elsewhere. I have a cousin who is a fourth of his name. I think he or his wife understood the twisted family dynamic that came with playing favorites like that because they didn’t carry on the tradition when they had their son.

and now they’ve fucked over their preferred sons because in doing so they left them maidenless.
It’s now even before that

Both couples chose boys.
Isn’t that what people said about China?
It’s happening in China, South Korea, Vietnam. Probably you can find more examples.
India as well.
How strange
This isn’t the only country that’s an example of this.
Fair enough
Why is there a preference for sons? Is it because they would traditionally get better jobs and take care of their parents or…?

Carry on the name?
