Mom Always Liked You Least

This weekend, over 200 girls in India participated in a ceremony in which they changed their names. Why did they do that? Because their parents gave them names that meant "unwanted" in Hindi. And that's because the culture is geared towards having sons, and when the couples have daughters, they use the naming to register their disappointment. How a culture could do that to anybody, I don't know. It doesn't get much sadder than to have a society that makes one gender a liability. And how do mothers justify feeling like that when they themselves were little girls once? (AP via USA Today)
