Two things there. In some South American tribes, they would kill a 3rd born child, since the mother and father could only carry one child each, and a 3rd would slow them down.
In China, due to extreme population, they are only allowed one child (I think they are allowing two if the first born is a female). Due to custom however, males have a huge role to play, especially in supporting the parents. As a result, they want male children, not female. | You seriously named them Bangers and Mash? omg that's funny.
Okay, I didn't know that about some South American tribes, but I was kind of thinking of China when I said that about those cultures.
