Too Many Men [India/China Gender Imbalance]
Washington Post ^ | April 18, 2018 | Simon Denyer and Annie Gowen

Posted on 04/18/2018 12:17:12 PM PDT by C19fan

cultural preferences, government decree and modern medical technology in the world’s two largest countries has created a gender imbalance on a continental scale. Men outnumber women by 70 million in China and India.

The consequences of having too many men, now coming of age, are far-reaching: Beyond an epidemic of loneliness, the imbalance distorts labor markets, drives up savings rates in China and drives down consumption, artificially inflates certain property values, and parallels increases in violent crime, trafficking or prostitution in a growing number of locations.

Things have gotten so bad in China reverse dowries are the norm and single women can marry up the socioeconomic ladder. Tens of millions of unmarried men with no hope = revolution at home and/or levies for armies.

That’s what happens when the state encourages the killing of female infants.

We can send all our illegal women over there. A win-win situation.

When you slaughter a huge percentage of female babies that’s what happens. The results are not going to be pretty.

This is likely what’s driving the epidemic of rape in India lately as well. The latest two, an 8-yo girl in Kashmir and a second less-publicized one a few days later, are roiling India and have the potential to badly damage the ruling BJP just before the next election cycle kicks off.

I notice the article artfully avoids mentioning why those girls were never born: they were aborted.

The state encourages the killing of all infants, but as is typical with socialist/marxist, centrally-planned regimes, the unintended consequences are even more perverse.

India and China share a common border. Have a conventional war WW I style with levies of unmarried man ...problem solved.

The graphics are cool at the WAPO site.

I remember reading a number of years ago that the Chinese men that could afford it, mostly middle class, were going to places like Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines to get wives. I read more recently that some were even taking African women as wives. I imagine the ones getting African wives were laying down roots there.

The latest catch phrase of feminists is: The Future is Female.
Ironic that these same feminists love abortion so much and don’t want it limited for any reason whatsoever. Even when it is coerced. Even when female babies in the womb are targeted for extermination in preference of male offspring.

At some point, the persistent killing of girl babies will lead to such a numerical imbalance relative to boys, that it will increase the risk of war.

The US has a gender imbalance. Need more men to be masculine.

They also fail to account for the impact of the increased number of prostitutes who will likely have NO children, let alone girls.

India 1.324 billion
China 1.379 billion
Total 2.703 billion

70 million/2.703 billion = 2.59%

Does not seem such a large proportion?
