"Why I didn't want a girl"

[asterroc]

A disgusting article written by a mother of two boys about why she doesn't want a girl for her third child. Absolutely disgustingly prejudiced and stereotyped and sexist and makes me want to puke. Moreover, what's this poor girl going to think when she grows up enough to read this article by her mother?

"Girls . . . whine and mope, manipulate and triangulate. "

I should introduce this woman to my ex-husband. And any number of small, whiny, manipulative boy-children I've known.

But I'm guessing she'll be right, because she'll teach her daughter to be a girl, the way she's taught her sons to be boys. She's got "self-fulfilling prophecy" written all over her assumptions.
