I see, well that makes a lot more sense, and I can see the logic in focusing the effort on girls. It's very interesting to read that statistic, maybe girls are raised with more of that family bond. Or maybe it's more innate for them, from biology. But here in the U.S. yeah I'm sure that statistic looks a lot different. Probably a lot less on both sides.
