    Why is there a preference for sons? Is it because they would traditionally get better jobs and take care of their parents or…?

        I know That’s a fairly common experience elsewhere. I have a cousin who is a fourth of his name. I think he or his wife understood the twisted family dynamic that came with playing favorites like that because they didn’t carry on the tradition when they had their son.

      I was told in Asian society the women marries into the males family and basically forsakes her original one. So patents need males to take care of them when they are okd. I dk if it’s BS.
