<"The loss of female births due to illegal prenatal sex determination and sex-selective abortions > Well there you go, you have your answer. So they won't have children and over time it will all revert to the mean. So yes, there are worry warts in China too! DAK

You are quite right: gender disparity leads to social chaos of various kind. I mentioned that here and elsewhere previously with regard to the Canadian experience of male aboriginals. This is different than a population disparity but it is similar in that it makes single aboriginal males less able to mate and compete for power in the larger culture which leads many of them to turn to the empowerment of gangs and such. The female is often able to mate or partner with a white male far down the economic structure and perhaps with social deficiencies, as well---but who is still able to provide what every mating female needs for family--resources and some degree of protection and stability. Many Aboriginal males cannot offer the latter and less successful white females are seldom looking to provide resources and stability to those less competent than themselves. This has led to a subculture of modern "metis" at a more advantaged situation than the aboriginal male who is often left with a less than stellar choice of mates--and less of them. This separation of social milk into levels of cream is not unlike a true gender disparity. So your point is well taken...
