Now here is a sexist report if ever I saw one, and guess who are being the sexists?

I got the following from the MSN Home page yesterday:

How Depressing: It's a Boy

Study examines whether a child's gender factors into postpartum depression

By Lisa Farino for MSN Health & Fitness

Depression is one of the most common postpartum medical problems that new moms face. New research suggests that the risk is even higher for those who give birth to boys.

Most moms will readily admit that rambunctious little boys are a bit more challenging to parent than little girls, who are generally quieter and less physically active. But the impacts of gender on parenting don’t necessarily start once the little ones start toddling.

New research out of France found that women who gave birth to boys were significantly more likely to suffer from severe postpartum depression than women who gave birth to girls. The findings weren't limited to severe depression: Women who gave birth to boys were also much more likely to report a lower quality of life than women who gave birth to girls.

But not everyone is convinced that the study really sheds new light on postpartum depression, which is estimated to afflict roughly 10% of new mothers in the United States. For starters, the research was conducted only on French women, whose social and cultural reality may be significantly different from that of women in the United States.

The study was only conducted on a very small group of women. “We’re talking about a very tiny sample size,” says Dr. Gail Robinson, a psychiatry professor at the University of Toronto’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. “There were only 17 mothers with severe depression and 13 had boys. A study with such small numbers doesn’t prove anything.”

No one bothered to asked these women what gender of baby they had hoped for, information that would have been useful in teasing out the reasons for the study’s findings, as well as perhaps more clearly identifying who’s at risk. Could it be that women in France prefer to have daughters instead of sons? Lead researcher Claude de Tychey, professor of clinical Psychology at Universite Nancy, speculates that women (at least in France) may prefer daughters to sons. One of his theories: the growing narcissism of the modern world is leading new moms to desire mini-me’s (that is, girls) instead of boys. Therefore, when a woman doesn’t get the gender of child she desired, she is more likely to suffer from decreased quality of life or severe depression.

De Tychey’s psychoanalysis may strike Americans as a bit far-fetched. But you don't need to buy into the psychology of narcissism to suspect that women in Western countries (especially American women) may actually have a preference for girls. Take overseas adoptions by Americans, a process that’s typically driven by women. Overwhelmingly, adoption agencies report that adoptive parents declare a preference for a female child.

Well guess what folks, if anyone should be depressed after the birth of a child, it should be the fathers if their wife gave birth to a girl, because girls are more expensive to raise. They are forever wanting new clothes, and when they reach 12 or 13 years-old, they need make up and other such female stuff. Then, there is the wedding, which the brides family is responsible to pay for and if you are “blessed” with more than one daughter, that is really depressing.

I received the following from “RIGHT TRUTH” via “THE HILL CHRONICLES”

Alert about Obama from African missionaries

THE DAMMING TRUTH ABOUT OBAMA:

In some of my blog postings, I have stated that I believe that Barack Obama IS a Muslim despite what he says to contrary, claiming to be a devout Christian. A few days ago, I posted a piece about Barack’s pastor, Jeremiah Wright, also being a “former” Muslim (though I believe he still is also).

I found the following on RIGHT TRUTH via THE HILL CHRONICLES. It is from an email sent to the owner of “RIGHT TRUTH”. The email came from a Mary Chamberlain, who is a staunch opponent of illegal immigration. I cannot vouch to the veracity of the information, but it does contain sentiments that I have read in many other places. I shall let the readers decide for themselves if they believe it or not:

Celeste and Loren Davis are Missionaries in Africa and can shed some light on one of our Presidential candidates. Here is what they have to say:

“Thanks for sending out an alert about Obama. We are living and working in Kenya for almost twenty years now and know his family (tribe) well. They are the ones who were behind the recent Presidential election chaos here.

Thousands of people have been displaced by election violence (over 350,000) and I don’t know the last count of the dead. Obama under ‘friends of Obama’ gave almost a million dollars to the opposition campaign who just happened to be his cousin, Raila Odinga, who is a socialist who was trained in East Germany. Odinga has been trying to bring Kenya down for years and the last President had thrown him in prison for trying to subvert this country! The December 27^th elections brought outcries from the ODM (Odinga Camp) of a rigged election. Obama and Raila speak daily. As we watch Obama rise in the US we are sure that whatever happens, he will use the same tactic, crying rigged election if he doesn’t win and may possibly cause a race war in America.

What we would like you to know is that the American press has been keeping a dirty little secret. Obama IS a Muslim and he is a racist and this is the fulfillment of the 911 threat that was just the beginning. Jihad is the only true Muslim way. We have been working with them for 20 years this July. Obama is not an American as we know it. Please encourage your friends, families and associates not to be taken in by those who are promoting him. It is world wide jihad. All of our friends in Europe are very disturbed by the Muslim infiltration into their countries. By the way, Barack’s true name is Barack Hussein Muhammad Obama. Won’t that sound sweet to our enemies as they swear him in on the Koran!

God bless you. Pray for us here in Kenya. We are still fighting for our nation to withstand the same kind of assault that every nation, including America, is fighting, takeover from the outside to fit the New World Order. As believers, this means we will be the first targets. Here in Kenya, not one mosque was burned down, but hundreds of churches were burned down, some with people in them, who were burned alive.

Jesus Christ is our peace, but the New World Order of ‘Globalism’ has infiltrated the Church and confused true believers into thinking that they can compromise with the Muslims and survive. It won’t be so!”
