When i was a child i used to read Pearl Buck, it meant much to me about the Lottery of Life, being born a girl or a boy, in many places of this world... what a challenge !!!!!!!
Imagine a World full of men and not enough women to go around.Hopefully things are beginning to change as countries realise the folly of their interference in nature.

Oh !!! Oh !!! Jay sus Glitch.. Heck... this is bad right enough...
China will have as many as 40,000,000 more young men than women under the age of 20. That's roughly the equivalent of the entire population of young men in the United States, or twice as many as in the three largest countries in Europe, all facing the prospect of being excluded from a society where having a family is a requirement just to "belong."

MADDOG69: Stone Age mentality really. Sickening.
Never mind stone age... What is frightening is that it is actually occurring... and we would not have a clue but for media... and verification from peeps from those countries.. who are kind enough to post their own experiences and thoughts..

I can imagine it, and I rather prefer a world ruled by nature in this issue.
Of course, a world full of women doesn't seems me something bad , but be part of the minority usually is.
Merriweather: Yes, Oil rich...so it doesn't make sense ... your argument.. does it??
Very true, but if it's an oil economy then it is not so much a debt/makework economy. Obviously there are many, many variables in an economy but the general rule is that countries that make and create have a bigger pay gap.
Wherever an economy is materially resourceful the pay gap is more, wherever an economy is fraudulent the pay gap becomes much narrower. And this is closely related to the reason why the gender pay gap is much greater in the private sector than it is in the public sector.

Germany has the greatest gender pay gap in Europe. Now is it just coincidence that Germany also has the most materially resourceful economy in, not just Europe, but the entire Western world? I'd say not.
