While it seems an archaic preference for male children in 2009, let's not forget that much is still archaic in China. Let's also not forget that China is the longest continuous human civilization, dating back to 3,000 B.C., and a change in archaic attitudes won't happen quickly.
Regardless whether we're viewing an Eastern or Western society, males are still valued more than men. Will we see a change in our lifetime? Anything is possible.
