Diet determines gender?

[Ravi]

It's not necessarily as far-fetched as it sounds. While men's sperm determine a baby's gender, it could be that certain nutrients or eating patterns make women's bodies more hospitable to sperm carrying the male chromosome, Jain said.

Huh?

And here I thought my having only girls was on account of all the weed I smoked in college.

 

[Ravi]

???

Never heard that one.

This kind of proves once and for all that women rule.

From your link:

It just might be that it takes more nutrients to build boys than girls

More proof that girls are more resiliant than boys.

And boys are weaker.

lol!

Well, since female is the default gender, that kinda makes sense.

 

[Shogun]

fuck. don't tell me that. I only want boy children.

 

[Ravi]

You could always clone yourself.

 

[jillian]

fuck. don't tell me that. I only want boy children.

I'm shocked.

 

[Ravi]

I'm shocked.

I'm relieved.

 

[manifold]

I'm relieved.

Seriously, from what I've seen of family and friends, girls are way easier to raise than boys. Not nearly as unruly.

And furthermore, as a daddy, as long as you give your daughter love and attention, you're pretty much all set. With boys you gotta worry more about them being wussies, criminals or worse...gay.

 

[Ravi]

Yuh, you prolly would turn a son gay.

Boys, imo, are much easier.

 

[Shogun]

trust me, I'm hoping for such an option.


cut out the potential for 18 years of supporting a baby mama's cable bill.

Yuh, you prolly would turn a son gay.

So you don't think they're naturally born that way huh? I'm a bit surprised Ravi, truly I am.

Boys, imo, are much easier.

Really??

Not my nephews, that's fo sho.

yea, dude.. just wait until she comes home about to burst with a litter.

and, I wouldn't have the slightest problem having a gay son.

as opposed to believing that gayness can be chosen or molded? nature v nurture, buddy, and nature sure as hell looks like the origin of other genetic realities too.

 

[Ravi]

I do think they are born that way, for the most part. Or that people have a tendency to be one way or another and something may or may not set them off.

It's just I have confidence in your judgment. If you think you can turn someone gay, I've no doubt that you can.

My son, while a terrible two, is much easier to deal with as a teen than my daughter is...something to do with hormones, I'm thinking. And my daughter goes through intense periods of hatred toward her father...again, hormones.

Won't be a problem since I'll make damn sure they're teaming with self-esteem.

Oh, you're so progressive. Good for you.

I'm nowhere near the teen bridge yet.
