Don't Tamper with the Cycle of Creation

"Phoenix is a big 15.3 hh tri-colored gelding, nice markings and disposition. Takes bit easily, tacks up good.. and stands still to mount, Has been to wranglers many times and ridden by an inexperienced 18 yr old so we are working on getting him back into his smooth 4 beat gait. Coming along nicely. Easy to catch, very sweet gelding, price will be going up." This is obviously an ad for a horse. I was looking around on the internet for a horse that would mesh well with my own mannerisms and be easy to ride because I've never actually ridden a horse before in my entire life. The description looks real nice and the temperament sounds fabulous.
So now you are probably wondering what all this has to do with the one child policy in China, and I'll tell you just that. Due to the 32 million more men in China than women, there are not enough wives to go around for all these men. So what do these family-name-bearing men do? They buy and sell women as disposable sex slave wive. They put ads up just like the one for the horse listed above. They buy the wives, force them into having yet another boy child, and then sell them again. "Women are also being trafficked for sale as wives to husbands who often resell them." "...partially due to a decrease in the availability of northern Thai girls." There is a reason for the decreased availability for the "northern Thai girls." Since the Chinese have the obsession with having a boy child and carrying on the family name, they've essentially disturbed the cycle of creation. There are now too many men and not enough women. It's a disturbed equilibrium of the sexes, and it's taking its toll. The Chinese are actually doing this to themselves. See, they only want boy children to carry on the family name, but as all of these men are getting older, there aren't enough women for all of them. Therefore some of them don't end up with wives and can't have a child to carry on the family name, anyway. Kind of ironic, isn't it?
