A historical example of China's preference for boys over girls.
In ancient times, the phenomenon of son preference was very serious. As described in some novels, the ancient girl was a commodity that lost money. If a woman can't give birth to all the boys, the whole family will look down on this woman and her children. In ancient times, in order to please her husband, every woman had to bind her feet, which was a very painful thing for women. At the same time, there were three cardinal principles and five permanents in ancient society. In a word, the patriarchal society in ancient times was very serious. This phenomenon existed in China for 2000 years, and it gradually improved in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

For ancient society, the lack of female talents meant that in ancient Germany, there were basically no women who could enter the DPRK as officials, and the officialdom was dominated by men. In ancient times, women were not qualified to go to school. Except for some wealthy families, in order to make children look gentler, a female gentleman was invited to teach children piano, chess and calligraphy.

Not to mention the people at the bottom of society, they can't even afford to raise boys, let alone let girls go to school. I am also a girl born in poverty, and I can only be a housewife all my life. Men and women have unequal status. A man can be polygamous, and a woman can only follow her husband's family all her life. They must adhere to the three cardinal principles and five permanent principles all their lives and obey people's commands all their lives.

Modern men and women are equal, and women can be talented. In today's modern society, women are also one of the main forces to promote national development. Some families like girls more and more and love them more and more. Girls are also eligible for education. Girls can go to war and become soldiers. Girls are also eligible to become scientists. Girls can also work in the government. The living conditions of modern girls are much better than those of ancient girls. Girls should strive for self-improvement, bloom the most beautiful flowers with their own lives, and promote the development of society and the country.
