As the mother of 3 boys, I agree with your theory!
Also, I run our town's soccer program, and I swear the worst coaches, in terms of being too competitive and taking the fun out the game, are fathers to all girls.
Does your 'scientific' data address how personality traits influence which sperm fertilizes the egg? Because that's what determines the sex of the baby.
Interesting thoughts...but I definitely don't agree.
And thinking of the U.S. Presidents, GWB had two daughters and so did BHO, and Clinton had one. I doubt many people would say all three have similar personalities, but of course I don't know them personally.
Presidents regardless of their political points of view all share one thing in common - an unquenchable thirst for power.
Not ALL presidents have daughters, but a preponderance of them do. Two termers seem to have more daughters.
Obama 2 daughters
George W. Bush - 2 daughters
Clinton - one daughter
George Bush - mixed. 4 boys 2 girls
Ronald Regan - 2 daughters 1 son
Jimmy Carter- 3 sons 1 daughter
Gerald Ford - 1 girl 3 boys
Richard Nixon- 2 daughters
Lyndon B. Johnson - 2 daughters
That's as far back as I can remember. Out of the past nine presidencies, five presidents produced only daughters.
Two term presidents - GW Bush, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton were daughter only families. The only 2 term prez with a son was Ronald Reagan.
Statistically, there should be 51% boys and 49 % girls. (slightly more live births are male)
Presidents are not the only power driven people. I have seen this pattern among the very wealthy, successful doctors, lawyers, business professionals etc.
Others with whom I have shared this, including several doctors who I worked with when I was a nurse, agreed.
Not one of them has ever said a word about whether or not their mother had orgasms. (That's something I'd make note of.) Sorry. Research is incomplete.
Of course not. That would be outrageous and silly. I'm not a scientist, I am a former nurse( peds, endocrinology and oncology) and I hold a degree in Sociology/ Cultural Anthro/ Psych and a minor in Family and Gender Studies. Graduate studies in the Social Sciences
But Landrum Shettels MD, a pioneer in gender selection did research at Columbia University in the 1980s, that concurs with my own observations.
