AGAINST

1. Female children from birth are easier to care for, they cry less and are more peaceful. This observation was made from my elder sisters children, one has 4 boys while the other has 3 girls.

2. Female children eat less and hence less expenditure. Even though i know there are always exceptions.

3. Female children are easier to dress and make adorable. Female children are born with natural charisma to attract a "wow" from observers. This is a satisfying thing for a mother when her child is appreciated by others.

4. While you just have trouser and shirt for a male child which are usually more expensive due to lack of choice, the female child market for cloths are unlimited. You can easily and affordable dress your female child with ease and satisfaction.

5. With the female child, you have the possibility of plaiting her hair which enhances her beauty the more giving the parents more satisfaction than having a male child.

6. The female child is better than the male child because females grow up fast and therefore start helping with chores earlier than a male child.

7. Female children can multitask with chores at home while male children can not. This makes female children better house managers and therefore better than the male child.

8. Female children are more attentive in school since they are interested in making good grades and making their parents happy while the male children are usually very nonchalant.

9. Female children are more emotional so take into heart their parents feelings in everything they do. They think of how their actions may affect their parents unlike male children who act on impulse.

10. Female children usually marry earlier than their male age mates so they usually give the first grand children of the family fulfilling every parents dream of carrying their grand children before they die.

11. Whether the female child has a job or not, she will be assisted by her husband to take care of her parents but that is not obvious for the male child. So the female child is better than the male child.

12. Since its the woman who keeps the home, its easier for female children to take care of their sick or aged parents since not all wives will accept to look after a sick or aged in-law. Normally we have children so we can be sure of some love and care when we are weak and aged so the female child is better than the male child.
