I've read somewhere that now it's a good time to have a daughter. She can decide on her future, make her conscious professional and personal choices, and add so much to the society. Still some countries perceive having a daughter as a waste of resources: abortions of unborn girls are common as families welcome boys. Boys: the future, the business resources, the fathers, the succession of the family name. You are lucky if you weren't born in these places. You can also consider yourself lucky if you weren't born in times when being a woman was almost a curse. What if your only duty was to get married and bear children, without which you'd be considered worthless? What if having a boy was your only path to privilege? What if your adult life started as being nothing more than the third wife? Enjoy.
