Classic Question

[sputnik]

the main word there is could. of course she could. but imagine you are a unimaginabky poor family. you win the lottery and get to get one kid into college. youre seriously telling me its 50-50? when the unequality in gender there for employment is so massive? youre willing to bet maybe even your survival on 50-50 between a boy and a girl?

yes a girl has a chance of getting a good job... but its so much lower than a boy in underdeveloped countries. its just playing the odds, the chances of your family surviving if you send a boy to college than a girl is much greater. with steaks that high i wouldnt risk on a gil.

i dont understand this question?

[sputnik]

if you were the parent of a boy and a girl in third world country, and you won enough money to give a child schooling, which would you give schooling to and why.

[TheGodEmperor]

the boy, obviously. girls have no use.

lol women aren't people  :biggrin:

but seriously, I would support whoever is smarter, unless they can get a full ride scholarship.

interesting that would explain why people (men) see UFO women are going to get energy fuel from out of space to last another month on earth

yeah but they're not people so who cares  :biggrin: I love making sexist jokes, even though I'm not actually sexist and support the feminist movement.

@Tito:  sputnik is right

I can't think of any modern human matriarchies.  I'd pick a boy over a girl anywhere

there aren't any. And also, I'd rather have my son be succesful because I could just marry off my daughter to a rich person, and my son would get rich(er) because of his college education so he'd marry well and my family name would carry on.

[Jono]

Actually i may change my answer to the boy. My daughter of course would be good looking so id hope that she could marry a rich, rich man

[TheGodEmperor]

Jono if you marry men you cant have daughters 

[moby]

the girl because she is more likly to do well while the boy will be crazy about sport and shit like that.
