My dad prefers a son to a daughter. Unfortunately, I am a girl and at times, my dad blames my failures on my gender. He thinks that boys are generally smarter and more hardworking than girls even though I have A's for most of my subjects. This makes me extremely angry and frustrated. What's so important about the family surname? A daughter could also carry on the family's surname!
I have also heard stories about people aborting their unborn daughters. For example, India and China.
In China, due to the one-child policy, many aborted their unborn daughters so that they could have a boy in the future.
So tell me, do chauvinlistic people still exist in Asia?
However, I am proud to be a girl.
