Girl babies were also disproportionately aborted, a practice which continues. Not a lot of opportunity for them, yes?
And mothers are forced to abort additional babies (regardless of their gender) - no opportunity for them either. Years ago the West bragged about how liberated our women were; now our women realize they’ve just been made to “play man” if they want to buy nice things, and it burns them when they opt not to have children to do so. I work with many women 50 and over who are very unhappy with their economic lot in life - and I work with many women 65 and over who can’t afford to retire. Isn’t “equality” great?
