Why we all want girls

thE Mail has exposed how consultants are helping couples evade the law in order to determine the sex of their child. the practice is popular among certain ethnic minorities, who still favour having a male child. Yet nine in ten white British couples who seek sex selection are after a daughter. no mystery. Statistically, girls have far better outcomes than boys in terms of academic achievement, and it seems every new high-profile appointment must, by rights, now be awarded to a female. it’s the ultimate feminist triumph. All the more reason to crack down on sex selection: take it to the logical conclusion and there won’t be any men left for us to complain about.
