Most of the world's societies are paternalistic-- i.e. "run by men". Maybe that is why the world is so messed up. LOL....
To answer your question: In a world in which men have the most power and authority, a male child has greater chances for success, power and influence.
I don't agree with this philosophy. Obviously, since I am a woman, I think female and male children are equally important and relevant to this world. But I didn't create the world I was born into. ---Some people also think the physically disabled children are expendable. As a disabled adult, I know a lot of people (friends, family, co-workers, students of mine) who would be very dissatisfied to live in world where that philosophy was the norm.

As far as I know, neither of their rights are upheld, and I wish they were. It won't be upheld until abortion is illeagal.

what the heck are you talking about? that's like saying, why do pigs fly? Do you have some evidence that this is so? Sounds a bit screwy to me?
