"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?

Perhaps, since zandperl is used to working in more areas where in general there are more men

When I was in astronomy (male-dominated) I saw a lot of back biting, hiding of information, power struggles, and also outright sexism against myself and the few other women. I am now in the female-dominated field of education and people are ridiculously nice.
