My point is that more girls than boys are killed by their own parents, certainly by their own mothers.
Many years ago, I read an article about "murder patterns" for men and women. This article said that those men who kill people primarily kill other men, but they kill women, too. Women who commit murder also kill men, but almost never other women. With one exception. Women, said the article, sometimes kill their daughters. Nothing was said to suggest that women killed their sons as often as they killed their daughters.
And the reason why I try to raise a racket about this is that no one else does. Because it seems to me that we are in a state of denial about the excess murders of girls.
