Hey!
I'm the author of this article. I completely understand this criticism. I was very afraid of how this might come across. My sincere apologies for this. My intention was to highlight the effect skewed sex-ratios have on the population, as an aggregate. I abhor the thought of men acting entitled to women, and being treated as possessions. But I also wanted to highlight the impact that is already being felt in countries such as china where 'family life' is taught to be a 'truth' that every human must go through. Sorry again!

- em-bee 7y agoi didn't read that tone at all. just numbers, lots of numbers. yup, china is the same. maybe less strong as the chinese are getting more and more affluent.
- kixiQu 7y agoIt has to be possible to talk about the effects of this phenomenon on all people, as well as the related changes in behavior people choose. We're all new to that, so I think we're all figuring out what language is appropriate. So we all have to be open to discussing that too. Thanks for that openness!
