One of the reasons they reason they were not as critical on this is because it is fucking stupid (plus racist) to think the Chinese were aborting and infanticideing females.
It's hard to kill a baby, even if you are Chinese.
It's expensive to sex a baby in a country where they are not even taking the right supplements worth ~$10 over a year to not fuck the kids IQ In Utero.
This is a old article and Freakonomics were pushing in the right direction according to new research.
Ideas around lesser medical care for females are partially true, medical care is sexed, this goes all the way to the first world (see breast cancer vs prostate cancer and taxes around female hygiene)
But solving poverty approximately equalises this, as China has done.
These ideas were old (again old article) and cutting edge at the time, breaking the conventional, probably racist theory. Infanticide is an easy word to say, spell it out, you think the Chinese mothers and fathers cut their baby's throats? Or going to abortion, technological whizzes that sexed their babies? Why so many down syndrome kids then? In the West where we abort Downers we considered China to be to low on these abortions until at least the 2010's
Freakonomics was cutting edge for it's time around this.
And for it's time I mean statistics has changed since then. Fuck me, try living in the 90's with statistics and the fucking bullshit then. Gen Z's and your avocado and statistics. Please stop being so weak minded.
