Solution to Male to Female ratio in Asian Population

Well lets see, I wonder if anyone here is familar with the foreign bride business???

And do you know the places where these women come from. They come from places that are coincidentally quite volatile if you ask me.

Foreign Brides! Ah yes..... There is a healthy market for brides from China, Thailand, and Vietnam! Some even as far away as Phillippines.

Hmm so the gender ratio problem is caused by many factors apart from the obsession with the surname

you are a genius Orca. Thanks for your input.

Hey No problem This is the place where ideas are dissected right? That's what Debates are for.

Anyway back the topic. The places where this brides come from are pretty having internal conflicts from revolution, violence and even wars.

Here's the term "Mail-order Brides"
Mail-order brides traditionally originate from developing countries. The majority of these women are from Southeast Asia including The Philippines, countries of the former Soviet Union, and to a lesser extent, from Latin America.[3] Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, large numbers of eastern European women have advertised themselves in such a way; primarily being from Russia, Romania, Ukraine and Moldova.

But Developing countries do not have conflicts so much right? They are too poor to finance a war.

Tales, I supposed we all seen the news about how Aung San Suki's country is under millitary reign. So is Thailand under some disarray. Cambodia under the vicious Khmer Rouge had seen massacres on a large scale.

Vietnam was at war with US at one time.

The Phillippines has been a place of bloodshed since man set foot on the islands

And some of these countries are still at loggerhead till today.

So imagine by taking their women away. You are actually making them more prone to aggression.

Studies have shown that men are more likely to get physically violent than women. Women tend to scold harshly than punch someone.

The one child policy in china was the cause of this gender ratio "crisis". By favouring males, women bearing girls will abort their offspring.

Also I dun mean bearing both surnames. But taking the surname of either one parent like say

Example.

Child 1: Father's surname
Child 2: Mother's surname

Aren't you making women sound a bit like objects here? Sorta like toys for men to vent their frustration? Dun forget it was the way that we treated women that feminism started as you said earlier?

Hmm true.... But we cannot put all the blame on men. Women can have their faults too.

Just as you said both genders have very big difference and so will have different needs. If a male peacock looks so different from the peahen, how is the human difference any different. Both have different needs and so both gender need to learn to understand each other instead of pushing each other.

You 're chinese right, you have your Ying Yang.

Both half reaches out to each other and touch each other. And the shape seem to suggest that each side give way which means understanding.

What we are seeing today is the continuous misunderstanding....
Like a halved circle. It's easily to cut a half circle than a Ying Yang which takes a long time.. ^^

Whether is it Feminism or it's male opposite, both are products of misunderstanding and intolerance between both genders.

I guess thats a good idea...
But there is actually no REAL solution, isnt it just by birth luck?

Well a person can't have two last names right?

In China, some people choose to adopt differing last names --- I know a few PRC guys who have a different surname from that of their parents!

I also think mail order brides from countries with a skewed population with more females than males will counter China's overwhelming male-female population. This looks like a good idea but its effects could be limited.

Besides conflicts with people of other races, there are simply too many males in China to begin with.

From what I see in the graph, China's problem may not be completely solved with the influx of... American? Or Russian brides? Maybe hot Brazilian or South African brides may also do. But there are more than a hundred million males than females in China. Scary figures!

I suggest, though, that the central government spend more on the social welfare of the poor peasants in China, so that they can depend less on their land (which should produce enough for the state according to its needs, given that China is still socialist) and lead a better, more secure life.
