Gendercide: The War on Baby Girls Has Gotten a Whole Lot Worse

2. this alone would do it

"...all countries need to raise the value of girls. They should encourage female education; abolish laws and customs that prevent daughters inheriting property; make examples of hospitals and clinics with impossible sex ratios; get women engaged in public life—using everything from television newsreaders to women traffic police. Mao Zedong said “women hold up half the sky.” The world needs to do more to prevent a gendercide that will have the sky crashing down."

When women can earn as much as a man for the same work, can provide equally, can inherit equally, are equal in all economic and political aspects, then they won't be subject to gendercide.

I respectfully disagree with their statement on the one-child policy. China has serious, serious population issues. Not just feeding, but water, housing, waste, pollution, speciescide, etc. are not just threats. They are real and happening. Wealthy people should be encouraged to adopt if they want larger families, instead of the need to reproduce their genes.

The thought of all that testosterone without outlet is frightening. But without intervention, it will resolve within a generation or two simply through lack of partners with which to reproduce. Hopefully before war provides an outlet.
