United States of America

While we do not have any real known female infanticide, or infanticide except for those we coin as crazy, the United States is not far different than the rest of the world.

Americans prefer boy babies over girl babies. Mainly, they view boys as easier to raise than girls, and cheaper, since you pay for the girl's wedding and such. Also, when asking men which gender they would prefer to have, 49% wanted a boy, 22% wanted a girl, and the rest had no preference. When women were asked, the margin was a lot narrower.

While it is not viewed as a necessity to have boys, such as in China or India, we Americans are not far from them.
