do with the gendercide.. in many cases they are accomplices if not instigators..
once i got in trouble with an indian grandma when i was in states..i mistakenly called her grandson who was wearing his hair in a braid, "a cute girl". the grandma got very up set and told me that her family did't have a single girl in it.. i wanted to remind that lady that she must have been a girl, say a few centuries ago....i bit my tongue and kept quiet.
