ORIGINAL: TexasMaam I see this in a very different light than other responses here: In the five months that I lived in China, about 20 years ago, the birthrate was approximately 1200 male children to 1 female, because the female children were put to death at birth. Surprise, this was back in the early 90's, not hundreds of years ago. Today, there are over a thousand Chinese young adult males age 15 to about 25, for every Chinese woman available. You are going to see every sort of kidnapping, prostitution, and slavery imaginable in China for decades to come, as a result. Ergo, this is but one of the many public outlets to come in which Chinese men will be able to live out their fantasies. No doubt the financiers will capitalize on the phenomenon by drawing men from all over the world, as well. TexasMaam While I have read the exact same things about China, I don't understand the conclusion. If there is only one female for thousands of males, why wouldn't they be treasured, pampered and protected, like an endangered species, rather than subjected to poor treatment? Smythe You keep right on wearing those rose colored glasses, dear. TM
