Arbiters hate this one trick

My guess is that there isn't a country out there that has a cultural preference for women over men, so at best you're going to see fairly close to equal, plus the difference of men dying earlier from things like wars, dangerous jobs, and lifestyle.

Whereas there are many cultures that strongly select for male children, plus some that also bring in high numbers of male workers.

In many countries where males are valued more highly culturally, infanticide is depressingly common. On a similar note, many countries have outlawed doctors revealing the baby's sex during pregnancy appointments because too many parents would end the pregnancy if it was going to be a girl.

Sorry, I've posted lots of this guy's stuff here and I assumed most are familiar with him, but I just had the afterthought to add that text to the post body since this one seems sort of plausible.

I'll tweak the title to be more clear.

Texas is big and tends to go red in the winner-takes-all system, but it also has more blue voters than some states have voters total.

This is literally the best thing that could happen to our democracy, in my opinion. Unfortunately it requires the 2 major parties to agree to give up some of their influence, so...

I believe this is the source of the image:

These are the subtle types of errors that are much more likely to cause problems than when it tells someone to put glue in their pizza.
