New York Times:
What unites communities with historically high rates of discrimination against girls is a rigid patriarchal culture that makes having a son a financial and social necessity.
The New York Times prefers a fluid patriarchal culture with high rates of violence and discrimination against women as increased profit and market share remain a financial and social necessity.
But as Marx noted 150 years ago, "That sucks, too!"

and did you even read the rest of the article? It basically said just because a country may be more developed economically doesn't mean their views of gender are fair. It's protrayed as a negative thing, for fuck's sake.
Jenny,
You are right to point out that a preference needn't be uncritical.
Thanks!
Ah okay, condescend to me. I was just offering a differing interpretation.
