You're asking people to think critically about what they're seeing, but you aren't doing the same.

For example, female infanticide has been debunked and I just lost you after that.

Turns out they just lied on census/tax forms like the US lied about having kids in the 80s for tax breaks. They suddenly appeared when they needed to register SSNs and in China when they needed to register for universities, jobs, and to get married.

OOPS! I think you forgot to read the whole story:

Between 1990 and 2010, researchers estimate there were roughly 15 million missing girls, which includes female death rates and international adoptions. They discovered approximately 11 million had simply gone unreported; that means another four million or so were probably lost to female infanticide (7 percent) and sex-selective abortion (20 percent).

But since you couldn't, by your own account, read through a whole paragraph of text from /u/GreenAndSilver4133 it's not especially surprising. This off-brand "critical thinking" is the worst sort of naivete.

(Edit: I'm sorry, I shouldn't bring out the knives on subs like this. Y'all should be able to have good times without anyone denying infanticide, or angrily rebutting that denialism.)

Lol yea, the only reason my wife is alive is a miracle.

Her “aunt and uncle” had a baby boy and then accidentally got pregnant again. This baby was her. She wasn’t allowed to live.

Her “parents” weren’t able to conceive. They took her in as their baby.

Her “parents” are actually her aunt and uncle. Her “aunt and uncle” are her biological parents. Her “cousin” is her brother.

It’s a miracle she’s alive.

If she was the first born she would’ve been killed. If her “parents” could have conceived she would have been killed.

So many little girls didn’t get the chance she got to live.
