💨 Abstract

Comedian Katherine Ryan and other women have joked about feeling "gender disappointment" when expecting a boy due to societal influences and personal experiences. Historically, boys were favored, but trends are shifting, with many parents now preferring girls. This shift is driven by cultural changes and personal experiences, leading to a preference for daughters. Many women express worries about raising boys in a world where male behavior is increasingly scrutinized.
