The only reason is the family lineage because our society and most societies patrilineal. That is why in some Igbo communities a man who has only female children will need one to remain unmarried and raise his descendants at home. In some instances she coukd still marry if she gets a male replacement .

This explains why a male child is held with high regards.
Mr Jude Kristen have two children a boy and a girl, let's call the boy Dave and the girl Cynthia
Dave got married and his wife and children are all answering Kristen their grand father name. Hance the name is living on.
Cynthia got married and now bears the husband surname.
Jude Kristen died and because he has a male child his name is living on.
Let's say if Cynthia was the only child and she got married his name won't live on so because of such circumstance a male child is held with high regards than a female.

Asia is obsessed with males. The result is males far outnumbering women, and a bunch of miserable single males. It's also a society of depravity. The status and lives of women there are a nightmare. Relationships are horrible. Asians are some of the most miserable creatures walking this earth.

Obsessing over a male child also reeks of raging hómósexuality, ídiocy and regressive thinking. Societies that focus on males basically despise women and gladly engage in more male-0n-male activity. They're also stunted by their móronic beliefs.

When the likes of George W Bush, Bill cliy, Mark Zuckerberg, Aliko Dangote, Barrack Obama etc are not fretting about sons that will preserve their names. it is you, a nobody with zero impact to humanity that is now shouting your family name must be preserved yen yen yen. So male children are easier to raise Abi? If you're not tired of seeing street urchins, drug addicts, cultists, thugs etc littered almost every corner you turn, me I am tired o. If anything, boys should be more difficult to raise than girls because there are more societal vices (cultism, crime, hard drugs etc) that they can fall into compared to girls (prostitution). But no o, let's leave them alone to do whatever they like.

I'm not doubting what you said but what I said is also the truth and you know that

what truth? Even as a granddaughter I don't joke with my grandparents. Is it the men who marry and forget about their parents Needs? Except for the perpetuation of the family tree, most men refuse to be of much use to their parents, especially after marriage
