i did realize what gender reveal party in this case referred to, but you have to admit the wording invites interpretation. when i lived in the usa there were baby showers and i presume there still are but the guests usually know the gender of the baby and choose a gift based on knowing it. here in norway i have never heard of either.
as for the distance between east and west i hope it stays that way. for the most part i try to avoid bridging the gap wherever i am to the extent that i can.
LOL I was hoping you wouldn't get into that kind of gender reveal party lol.
Oh yes, there are times I wish the East and the West remind watertight .. I think I know what you mean there. Hehe
What is a punishable crime? To have the gender reveal party or to have the baby eventually choose it's own gender?
The punishable crime is the parents choosing the gender of the child they want to keep.
In Asian regions a male child is considered an asset while a female child is a liability.
A female child is often aborted by the parents - so abortion is also punishable by law if its not for strictly medical reason.
Hence there is a skewed balance between the genders over the centuries.
So legally they cannot actually choose, but if they do so and abandoned the female by whatever means- abortion; etc, then that is punishable.
So how did they get the idea that one is worth more than the other if the law says that both male and female are valuable. Culture or tradition/belief vs the law.
I thought that choosing to keep the male over the female baby was more to do with the now de-funct 1 child policy in China....?
Boys earn while girls need to be given in marriage.. which means you have to give the boy huge sums of money and stuff for the household. The thing from the past traditions and cultures carried forward by a few even today. Boy also bring money when they marry.. a vicious cycle.
So what, don't they know that girls are actually wayyyy better at working and bringing in money than the boys?
And handling work and home life too, whereas boys can only do one thing, but girls have been scientifically proven to be able to multi task wayyy better than boys.
Boys infact, really are the weaker species.
All I can say is they are brain washed and are blinded by their traditions and thoughts passed down the ages. Sadly even the educated folks are like this.
Yes that is a shame. And unfortunately as you too see, that educated does not actually mean enlightened or even intelligent, cause if they were, then they'd have the minds to break out of these archaic and illogical beliefs.
Obviously you are though, as you can see it- the detriment to your fellow females and the entire population and are willing to discuss it AND you're here on Hive- so you are not only intelligent but also enlightened too!
Good luck to you and your family.
