I am from south Asian country and My mom and dad had a love marriage. Their love story were full of obstacles. My mother's father would hit & scold my mom saying to stop the affair but it was my mom's first love so she never dared to do so and on the other hand my father's mother hated my mom saying she was catholic as my father was a Buddhist. They had more problems but finally they end up getting married together. When my mom was pregnant with her first child, Everyone including my mom wanted it to be a son but she had a daughter AKA me. After my birth some problems they had while dating faded away. My parent's were invited to family gatherings & My mom's father start to talk to my mother too but when ever they would go to family gatherings they would laugh at me and my mother saying " Oh you have a daughter but we have sons". What's the matter of having daughters ? Aren't they are the ones who give birth to sons ? My mom always wanted a son to prove them wrong but she ended up giving birth to 3 daughters. My father never mentioned about wanting a son but I know deep inside of his heart he wanted a son.
As we grew up me & my younger sister ( little one is still going to preschool ) were the brightest kids of our family. Not only these sons make parent's proud, daughters can also do that and we did it more than the sons.
But I have one question
Why everyone want a son when daughter can do that too ? It's true that son's take the family name but I believe daughter's can do it too. Not only son's becomes doctors or engineers daughter's can become them too. Not only son's can take care of their parents when they are old daughter's can take care of them too.
Then why people always wished to have son rather having a daughter ?

It's an old belief to prefer to have a son because of old rules that probably meant a son could legally do some things a daughter couldn't. But the world needs both men and women. So having either a son or a daughter is a really good thing, a blessing. It's good for the world.
ReplyThe old man-made rules to exclude women from society. Men were shits to do that.
