One of my pet peeves is the many,many women around the world who are abused, abandon, or tossed aside because THEY didn't deliver a boy. In the USA it has been known for a long time that it is the male that determines the sex or gender of the child. Proven, documented and verified over and over. If the \"how\" of this is of interest to you, please go to the Sexual Rights group in World Pluse or you can go to Medline Plus: Trusted Health Information for You by the US National Library of Medicine.
