Asia 'missing' 96 million women: UN
Yahoo! News ^ | March 8, 2010 | Ben Sheppard

Asia is "missing" about 96 million women -- the vast majority in China and India -- who died from discriminatory health care and neglect or who were never born at all, the UN estimated on Monday.

Female infanticide and sex-selective abortion have caused a severe gender imbalance in Asia, and the problem is worsening despite rapid economic growth in the region, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) report said.

"It is not just female infanticide but sex-selective abortion of unborn girls that cause so-called 'missing' females," she said, contrasting the issue with recent improvements in female life expectancy and education.

The UNDP report found that East Asia had the world's highest male-female sex ratio at birth, with 119 boys born for every 100 girls.

This far exceeded the global world average of 107 boys for every 100 girls.

"Females cannot take survival for granted," it said.

"Sex-selective abortion, infanticide, and death from health and nutritional neglect in Asia have left 96 million missing women... and the numbers seem to be increasing in absolute terms."

Yet this same group will fight to the hilt for a woman’s legal protection to kill said missing female children.

I’m sure that one child China policy had nothing to do with it.

The Chinese are going to really regret the mess they have made here. Prostitution and crime will be growth industries in China in the coming years.

Population alarmists should love this. As any farmer warring with deer knows, you reduce the population by eliminating the females.

History show that a male heavy population is a prelude to war.

We FReepers had a thread on this phenomenon way back.

In the rhythm of the human species - this is ominous. Wars and rumors of wars.

There will be huge civil unrest when young men cannot pursue their natural procreative instincts. Could lead to anarchy or border skirmishes.

You should not mess with Mother Nature - she has God on her side.

I think they will find a lot of them at the other end of the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor...

So — increased warfare on one end of the socially inept Asian male spectrum and increased male homosexuality on the other.

In a world increasingly less reliant on physical labor, I’d think they’d be killing the men before the women. After all, it only takes one man to annoy many more than an equal share of women.

Look at France and the riots there.

A huge reason for the young Muslim men rebelling is, quite simply, because of sex. Or the lack thereof, more specifically.

The native European women won't talk to them and they cannot talk to Muslim women who aren't related to them, let alone have relations with them. It's gonna boil over.

“You should not mess with Mother Nature - she has God on her side.”

Very well said. Ominous indeed.

History show that a male heavy population is a prelude to war.

Although I don't doubt that this would be the case -- when in history has this ever happened?
It seems like female infanticide, and heavily weighted female abortion, is primarily a disease of this generation.
We're soon going to reap the aftereffects of what has been sown - but I was just wondering if you knew of any historical analogies (or were just making a logical projection).

Well, UN, there’s about 40 million women here that were never born.

The very same feminazis who push abortion are now complaining.

Exactly. We have 40 million missing children and adults in the U.S. alone. And Europe has tens of millions of their own missing...

To relieve the pressure these nations could send about 100 million horny men to war. They would take pictures of a Florida beach during spring break and tell them “If you win you can have your pick”.

Wars have been fought for lesser reasons in the past.
