That is very, very sad. I have come across a number of people (close friends, acquaintances, etc) who say they want sons and not daughters when they're old/stable enough to have kids. I never really understood the apparent over-emphasis on the importance of having boys. Maybe I'll never understand it.
I don't really intend to ever have kids, but I figure (at least in the US), people should be happy with what they get, boy or girl. There's so many people who can't even have kids and would probably give anything just to be able to conceive one. Whining about whether you have a boy or a girl seems really silly to me.
