ROUND #5 TOPIC
A Male Child Is Better Than A Female Child.
Are you FOR or AGAINST?
READ THE RULES AND COMMENT TO WIN A BEAUTIFUL PRIZE ON SATURDAY IF ONLY YOU FOLLOW THE RULES.
You Can Be A Winner whether you are FOR or AGAINST.
Your Opinion Counts.
You Will Be Paid For Your Opinion.
It Will Only Cost You An Up Vote.
I should make a point for me just participating in the discussion. I dislike having to resteem just for the sake of taking part in a contest. I prefer to keep my own blog page clean for my followers to use.
I still support you by upvoting and being here and I don't have a particular need for the price either, so it's all good.
On topic
I would prefer a son myself because I knew that I would be a cliched overprotective father if I would end up having a daughter and I would not enjoy that one bit.
That is probably the only point that speaks for one gender over the other for me regarding this question.

Personally I would tell them, I mean on my chat groups and so forth. I am not against resteeming, I'm against making it a condition. If I see a really interesting initiative I want people to know it, true, but for example I plan on posting ideas on trading and investment here in steemit... and most likely the people who will follow me are the people who are interested in those ideas (and many bots searching for upvotes). Resteeming is posting something on my feed for all my followers, and if they're interested in contests, they're sure to look at the contest feed and besides think on how you would feel by receiving tons of the same contest on your feed?. Maybe once Steemit changes how that works and shows the post only once no matter how often the people you follow resteem it it will be different, but right now I don't like forcing people to resteem in order to participate in a contest, it's just my opinion, though.

I should have probably just replied to all of these comments in this parent in one big comment, but now I am commited to answering individually.
I answered that post in my most recent post as well. Ignore the shameless self-plugging, give it a look if you are interested.
TL;DR version would be to just actually combine or replacing resteeming by actually writing a blogpost about anothers post or the poster himself. I do that once every week, but I consider to do it once a day because it fits the spirit of #upvoteplankton and #minnowuprising.

Are your saying that the male child does not need to be protected?

Interesting question. If I raise my children right, neither of them will need all that much protection. With that being said, getting the "daddys little girl" syndrome out of a mans system is next to impossible I believe.

I won't reesteem for the same reasons as @paparodin. But as far as the topic goes:
I think it's better to have a male child as far as comfort and ease of care goes. Today's society still benefits the males more, plus males are easier to take care of... On the other hand the girls are special in their own way, they bring more emotion to your life as a parent, the moment you send them to school, their 15 birthday, her first boyfriend, the moment she moves and leaves you, the moment she gives you a grandson or granddaughter...
Ultimately I think it depends on whether you're more of an emotional person who is attached to these moments in life and want to experience more intense emotions or if you like to keep your independence and have a son who will take care of himself early and possibly help the house sooner. Ultimately I would rather have a daughter than a son, those experiences are unique (though most of them cause pain in one way or another).

It's so nice of you to forfeit the prize money to those who truly need it may have more.

AGAINST
Female children from birth are easier to care for, they cry less and are more peaceful. This observation was made from my elder sisters children, one has 4 boys while the other has 3 girls.
Female children eat less and hence less expenditure. Even though i know there are always exceptions.
Female children are easier to dress and make adorable. Female children are born with natural charisma to attract a "wow" from observers. This is a satisfying thing for a mother when her child is appreciated by others.
While you just have trouser and shirt for a male child which are usually more expensive due to lack of choice, the female child market for cloths are unlimited. You can easily and affordable dress your female child with ease and satisfaction.
With the female child, you have the possibility of plaiting her hair which enhances her beauty the more giving the parents more satisfaction than having a male child.
The female child is better than the male child because females grow up fast and therefore start helping with chores earlier than a male child.
Female children can multitask with chores at home while male children can not. This makes female children better house managers and therefore better than the male child.
Female children are more attentive in school since they are interested in making good grades and making their parents happy while the male children are usually very nonchalant.
Female children are more emotional so take into heart their parents feelings in everything they do. They think of how their actions may affect their parents unlike male children who act on impulse.
Female children usually marry earlier than their male age mates so they usually give the first grand children of the family fulfilling every parents dream of carrying their grand children before they die.
Whether the female child has a job or not, she will be assisted by her husband to take care of her parents but that is not obvious for the male child. So the female child is better than the male child.
Since its the woman who keeps the home, its easier for female children to take care of their sick or aged parents since not all wives will accept to look after a sick or aged in-law. Normally we have children so we can be sure of some love and care when we are weak and aged so the female child is better than the male child.

Hi Friends,
I am Against this ,
A male child is not better than a female child.
I am from a family where both the kids are females , me and my sister. And I feel very contented at me being a female. I feel my parents raised me to be able to stand on my feet . So I feel if all fwmles are educated and has same priority as a male then there wouldn't even be a question s to who is better.
A female child has more attention than a male child. While male kids just play and play. Female kids study and make sure they earn the position.
Female kids will for sure make sure they take care of their parents. Although male kids have an upper hand in this department. Since in india , the male child is the one who has to take care if the parents. But since if u are from a family like mine , for sure we will take care of them.
Female kids are also needed in this society , just like male kids . Inorder to maintain the law of nature. To have offsprings in the future. So one can't kill a female child , just because she was female. She is needed by our society.
My dad made sure we learned karate , for self protection. So when you have a any gender kid , I would make sure I tea h them self defense. No matter the gender , nowadays evil people are everywhere.
And as my mom says , having a girl child is like there is a light that always shines in your house.

Hi @mwanjo i join again your contest
I m against it. Why?
I also saw a very quiet male child. And actually male child need to a bit of hyper, because later they become a man who can protect the love one. So sometimes i a bit worry when saw male child to quite.
Even sometimes i took care of neighborhood's kids especially female child, they really easy to take care of. Just play YouTube about Barbie or others they will sat down and be happy.
But for me male child or female child they are like a blessed from God to us. They good or not is depend from how we teach them, how we treat them and how we always stayed by their side every moment in their life. So is not only about parenting, but sometimes w can chat like friends. Female or male we need to be grateful because some people out there don't have a chance to have it.
When they still kids we can't judge them later be good or not, is how we always close to them.
Thank you.

Hello everyone I am for.
For
In our culture a lot of physical labour is needed in the farms, for hunting, for fishing and for family security. So its natural that most families think that a male child is better than a female child.
For the same reasons above male children are more prestigious than female to their fathers.

My opinion with this question is that girl is better since they have more ability to learn and mature, help in the home and to teach the male to have greater responsibility in what you want to.

I think that at present we should be more tolerant and accept each person as he is.
We must understand that it is his naturalness to be as he wants it to be and that it is not a decision of the child, therefore, we must respect and accept it.

I don't have a clear insight because I'm not a parent yet, but being a male showed me that it had some perks in some aspects of life. Females grow up so much faster than males and they assume roles within their families and social groups, they develop empathy, care and are able to handle complex situations in a much mature way than males. Males are much more competitive, like in nature, it's about dominance and survival from a young age. Males have to assume the role of gatherers and must learn to protect his family and loved ones. But in my opinion, I'm against it, there are no better genders, it is quite stupid to think about it. From a parenting point of view i've come across friends who tell me the same thing: It's hard to be a parent. But at the same time they say to me that it is the most wonderful thing ever, so it's quite confusing for me. There are no better childs, but there are good and bad parents.
