    How many of you have siblings? If so, do you have a brother. Do your parents spoil him because he is the only male child? Will you spoil your male child if you had one in the future. Does gender matter that much in the chinese culture

    hmm im the only and youngest male in the family but hmm my parents dont realy give a shit bout it, but i know most of my other chinese buddies are spoiled like shit. my parents told me that the reason chinese people spoil thier only male is cus u know that chinese thing? like the family thing where girls cheut gah while the guys are the family? but yea us chinese realy want males because of that.
    but yea i think that saying is dieing down now though

    I think mostly the Mainland-born boys are spoiled since boys are still more priced than girls (stupid mentality in my opinion).

    This gender issue is important in traditional Chinese families.. but I believe more families today are open and less narrow minded.. Especially where I stay, sexual equality in terms of rights and treatment is quite well established.

    I see plenty of spoiled brat around... It is true to an extent that males are likely to be spoiled by parents and females spoiled by boyfriends (instead of family members)

    But I guess it has something to do with the lack of manliness if that guy get spoiled by his girlfriend now is it??

    And no, no brothers, so it's fair game at home :D

    I've got an older brother, he was extremely spoiled when we were younger. However, as we grew older he loose his spoiled ways.

    I do agree, most asian parents are pretty sexist, always favoring the son. In Chinese culture, men are really that important because they're the ones that are carrying on the family name...however, I don't quite agree with that...men can't do it alone if you know what I mean.

    In my family my elder brother is always favored over the rest of us because he's the eldest and a boy - so unfair, even though my mum never admits it. But because of this, if I have kids in the future I wouldn't favour boys over girls or vice versa, I would try to be equal
    But I noticed this is quite common for other other asian friends too - think its just the culture

    i've seen some traditional chinese families favour male children more than females, but i personally do not favour any. male/female child are the same :)

    My younger bro tends to get 'better' treatment. I don't know if it's because he's a male or because he's younger :)
