do not know. On a related topic... we now have non-invasive technology that enables us to gender select when getting pregnant. The Chinese have been gender selecting for years via abortions. Of course it isn't too widely practiced since not everyone is willing to go that route. However, the Chinese are still seeing a dynamic change in their social structure. Currently the baby boys born in China is far greater percentage wise than in the rest of the world. We are starting to see a similar trend in other countries like India. Historically we have always seen that when gender selection was encouraged, parents generally selected a boy to be their first born. That appears to be the way things are now as well. In modern times, couples are far less likely to stick it out until there is a second child and many are opting to have only one child anyway. One of the obvious rammifications of this is that in our next couple of generations there will be large populations of males who never imagine themselves involved heterosexually. I predict a serious change in our social dynamics as we develop these testosterone rich cultures of frustrated males. I find it most ironically interesting that it is primarily the result of a feminist push.
