Battleaxe mothers 'more likely to have sons than daughters' - Telegraph


Women with high testosterone may be more likely to have sons -- Health & Wellness -- Sott.net

if the sex of a child was solely down to such pure chance, the numbers of boys and girls being born should even out over time. In fact, there are 105 boys born for every 100 girls, and at certain times the excess of boys soars even higher.

According to the theory of maternal dominance, the reason why more boys are born during and after wars is not because of divine intervention to replace dead men, but because women are in more dominant positions while men are away fighting - and, therefore, more likely to have raised testosterone levels.

In women, testosterone production is associated with adrenal glands which are involved in the body's response to stress. The maternal domination theory is that secretion of testosterone in women increases under stress and the hormone levels affect the uterus, having a "gatekeeping" role over which sperm gets to the egg.

"Thus, although X and Y sperm are produced in equal numbers by the male, the chances of either one or the other actually fertilising an individual woman's ovum may not be equal at all," says Dr Grant, lecturer in behavioural sciences at the University of Auckland, whose book is published by Routledge later this month.

Dr Grant believes the theory of maternal dominance fits well with the high birth rates of boys during wars, epidemics and other times of stress.

This was something I used to wonder for a long time. Women who have all boys always seem to think and act so different from other women. I thought the boys they birthed had an effect on them. But apparently it was them all along?

Looks like these black boys are going to have even less black girls to pick from then.

but the sons turn into wuss, because if she dominant, she will be the dominant one in the relationship but she still a female, and if male offspring dont have a strong male father figure...they turn into wusses

A single mother can raise strong kids.

At the end of the day it depends on how the kids are raised. Too many factors play a hand on how your kids turn out. Even coming from a healthy nuclear family ain't a guarantee

This is stupid though since men determine the sex of the child.

Sure they can. There is dsyfunction in any family. Even two parent families, and if two parent families are tough, single parenting is not easy. Besides,
where is the male role mother. A mom is mom is a mom.

both need and should be there for the kids life.

Too many issues around human development, criminality and single parentedness / lack of parenting/etc, now granted, humans been around for millions of years and survived.

Although with out balance they can be problems, for example, a 4 wheeled vehicle with 2 sets of wheels, one set on driver side, one set on passenger side...for the two sets of parents. Lose any pairs of the tires and the car cant run properly. Lets say now you wanna function on two wheels, take two wheels, using the size of wheel loosely, and put two tires on a motor bike, got motorcycle, for two parents, take a tire off, just walk with one tire motorcycle? now you got a unicycle. but a unicycle cant out run a car or motorcycle, yet.

Now you can replace the wheel, but everything built to spec. Put big rims on car and it eats the springs, builds more wear and tear on car/etc, same with extended/step families, additional challenge.

Again, humans are resilient.

Pair its where its at.

Or if the father is submissive to the dominant mother. If the mother tries to emasculate the father in front of the children, then the sons will turn out soft and may have a fear of women. 2 examples of this in my family.

You're misunderstanding him, he means "wuss" as in a man lacking masculinity.

Regardless of the modern worlds egalitarian views, men and women will forever be different, two different genders with typically different physical and physiological profiles, example, men are typically masculine (competitive, stoic, aggressive e.t.c.) whilst women are typically feminine (emotional, relatively more irrational, sensitive .e.t.c.), this is just the reality of the matter, unless you want to say that there is no typical physiological difference between genders?

That being said, who can teach a young boy how to hone his natural masculinity better than a experienced man of quality? Yes a women could teach her boy how to be be a good man in theory, but a woman will never understand what it is like to be a man nor what it is like to be a boy with a sht load of testosterone, that's understanding reserved for men only. That understanding we have allows us to communicate with boys and teach them a lot more effectively than women because we understand them, sht, we were them at one point.

So i disagree, a father present in the house hold makes a pretty big difference when it comes to raising good men.

Single moms can raise masculine men. It happens every day. Little boys come in contact with influential teachers, coaches, peers, entertainment figures, business professionals, and other males throughout their lives that they emulate. Fathers are just a steady, physically present role model, but they are not the only role model.

And men determine the sex of the child so the article makes no sense anyways.

If it's the teachers, coaches, peers, entertainment figures, business professionals, and others, it's not the single mothers raising them.

Is this a joke? Define raised and influenced.
