[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/416809/sexism-girl-preference-sex-ratios-discrimination-ivf Interesting piece. Have seen this pop up now and then. Speaking to younger families/couples anecdotally I find this to be true also. Thoughts? [/quote] Not clicking on the link, but isn't this about older moms who waited too long to have kids naturally and are using fertility treatments? If you are an older first time mom who is going to be in your mid to late 60s with a teenager, and are conceiving in a way that the lab can pick the baby's gender, it makes sense that more of the moms will pick a daughter to increase the possibility that her only offspring will be more likely to take care of her in her old age. The older moms also likely perceive little girls as being less physically taxing for an older mom than little boys, making a duaghter more desirable than a son.[/quote] So you are just guessing here.
