'Too many girls have degrees' ...yeah because in the patriarchal society it is much harder for girls to find good employment so they need to study twice as hard to get the same chances.

[@TumblinWeeds]

I don’t think that’s how it happened tho. It’s mostly that in every family with a girl, she’s the only child, and the parents use all their income to support her financially. She doesn’t need to be an uneducated housewife when she could be more. University costs are low and test scores are gender neutral. And her family (who didn’t kill her) are hoping for financial support when they get old. When they say “too many girls have degrees” they just mean everyone has a degree nowadays and anyone with even an ounce of self respect wouldn’t go out with his son.

[@EM-cl7cl]

@@TumblinWeeds What you say I am sure has some truth, But during my time at university I had quite a few chinese friends who told me how their brothers didn't need to study hard and often didn't to go to university, because work was guaranteed. So it is definitely one aspect of it. In case you wonder why these families have more than 1 child, it's because exceptions can be made in rural provinces (doesn't mean farming), if the first child is a girl.

@Baby cat The childfree by choice (cbc) has already started gaining the momentum in India. Apart from that, unemplyoment, abysmal poverty, hunger, dearth of resources have already impacted marriages negatively and once the automation is in full swing, most of those labours will no longer be required and they have also begun embracing the future which is why mostly they are now restricting themselves to 1 or 2 kids only. Many of them have even decided to stay single as well especially after bearing the unforgettable brunt of the pandemic. In 2019, pollution alone has killed 1.67 million people in the northern parts of India which has now augmented to 2.5 million per year. Nearly 4 million individuals have resigned from their jobs in the USA which is now prominently known as "the great resignation", "lying flat" in China, early retirement at 34 in Italy etc are some of the best examples to be optimistic with that more and more people are realizing across the world that it is better to live a single and childfree life. So, within a decade from now, a huge chunk of population will be eliminated directly or indirectly very soon.✌

I feel bad for the sons who have no chance at getting married. It’s not exactly their fault for being born a male and living in a country where there’s significantly less females. But these Chinese parents need to realize if they pick and choose the gender of their child then there will be problems. I understand sons are better for poorer families since they’re more “profitable” (a horrible way to put it, I know) due to the country’s culture but they need to accept it when their baby is born a girl. This way the country can get out of this terrible situation. Anyways the women kinda do get to be a little picky when it comes to marrying someone. Why would she settle for someone that has nothing going for him (whether it be looks, personality, job, etc), when there’s a bunch of better people she can marry? If the roles were reversed there would be men that were picky about the person they marry. They too would want a woman with a nice personality, looks and a good job. No one should just settle for someone when getting married.

[@randalftheblack2572]

Tbf though, there's no expectation for men to be able to cook or do household chores in rural China. They're still very "traditional/conservative" there. Living in pretty much the same way they did a hundred years ago, just with a few more technological advances. The expectation is: 1. Have car. 2. Have house. 3. Have decent income. While the expectation for women is: 1. Birth babies. 2. Cook and clean for family.

[@GenieGin13]

I disagree with this. My father and my grandfather and the other men from the village all knew how to do basic essential things before marriage. They know how to cook, clean, sew, etc There are many Chinese families that didn’t differentiate gender roles so precisely. Especially after mao zedong declared men and women to be equal . There is a saying “women hold up half the sky” So I think the men who did not catch up to modern times or parents who were too rigid in how they raised their sons and expected an old-fashioned daughter-in-law....they ended up with sons who didn’t make themselves marriage material or even marketable/appealing to women. It’s easy for the girls to choose someone else. Independent or career-minded women would definitely be more choosy with their marriage prospects . The mature and responsible guys were able to date successfully in high school and be married by 22. Actually longtime friendship between families is also important. There’s always a network of knowledge in the families and everyone seems to know the ages of all the grandchildren coming of age. My cousin who grew up in China married a girl who he knew for years and years . No one forced them to get married , they just fell in love and chose to be with each other . Married early and after college, had a kid. As for me, my life would be very different if my parents stayed in China . The year my mom immigrated is the year I was born . The first two kids... 2 girls me and my sister

You guys don’t get. In Chinese culture the family is very important. It is considered a huge failure and an embarrassment to the family if one doesn’t marry and have kids by a certain age. (men and women) A man cooking his own food and doing doing his daily chores with no wife to help and no children to teach in Chinese culture means that society rejects him and he is not fully contributing member of society. He will be seen as a reject, loser or loner by friends and family. (Same with women) The ENTIRE family will forever be embarrassed throughout the village because as parents they have failed.
