Who cares? In my opinion, it is quite stupid to prefer one sex over the other. When I see such results, I can't help but to think of China. Seriously, I think that articles like that just cause more harm than good. Girls shouldn't be exposed to such garbage. I have two daughters and a son. My girls are the oldest. I can remember when my wife, unexpectadly, became pregant, people would say "so, are you trying for a boy?" or "I bet your husband really wants that son he never had!". Geesh, all this man ever wanted was kids...healthy kids who would grow up to be respectable individuals. I can't believe people generalize kids based on gender in this day and age.
