what is it about all the prominent people only having girls?

I have noticed this for a while.

Since Kennedy, only Ford and Carter had male offspring. Their children were already adults by the time of they were in office.

Barron will be of driving age while Donald is in the White House. I wonder what kind of car he'll drive?? I can picture him cruising up and down Pennsylvania Ave. with a couple of chicks.

Old families in the south would start dying out by having only daughters or daughters as well as a son who was shall we say not interested in reproducing. Gossips would say they had tired blood, time for some new blood. I suppose this would apply to people who have risen to national prominence, especially if it’s been a generational thing. But, I think of all the Bush sons and realize that it’s not an entirely consistent thing. Not too many grandsons for Poppy, though, only aware of one and I do wonder if the old phenomenon doesn’t apply there, too.

Now that you ask, there is a fascinating explanation for this. I mean utterly fascinating. To delve into this further, google Royal Hawaiian, WW II, and submarine crew rest, or some combination of those words. One of the submarine officers staying at the Royal Hawaian Hotel, aka Pink Palace, noticed this same thing. He survived the war and went in academia, and his thesis was about this. To this day I smile when I see an old married couple with four girls. You will too, when the reason is explained to you.

I have absolutely no basis for these next comments except my own observations of not THAT many folks .... but enough to stick my neck out and get my head cut off.


Strong moral men get boys.

Not so strong yet moral men get both boys and girls.

Weak Metro's get girls

In ‘00 when it was Bush v Gore, I got into a political discussion while waiting for service at a Jiffy Lube (hey, I live near DC, EVERYTHING is political!). The gentleman I was talking with assured me Bush would win. His reasoning? No Dem with pretty daughters ever wins!

Reagan had sons. Carter had sons. Ford had sons. It's just in most cases the sons were adults when their father became president.
