As for the rest of this topic, again a whole lot of assumptions being made. Don't assume a child of the same gender will be a 'mini-me' or that it will be an immediate bond of some sort, because you might be sorely disappointed by that expectation. I have been blessed with one of each and let me tell you a lot of my gender expectations were turned on their heads. What if it's your daughter who likes bodybuilding or sports and your son who likes shopping and ballet?

If she's a vodybuilding I wouldn't mind it bt be shcoked at first lol. It's good to develop athlecism, altgough I'll still consider it too extreme for a girl but whatever.
Manye men actually DO like shopping, just not that much for clothes but for cars, tools, books, etc. Not a very good example. When men say they disliek shopping they mean strictly shopping for clothes or sanitary things, especially if it's with their wife as "OOOH luck at that and that and that" gets on their nerves after a while.
As for ballet depends what you mean with that. To become a dancer in plays like Bob Fosse - yes why not!? To do classic ballet?! I hope not and would try to steer him to gymnastics.
On topic, a guy I know was so disappointed that he just left his family after his fourth child turned out to be a girl like the other 3. It's irresponsible and extreme but living surrouned by so many women would suck. Well it would suck if we switch the genders as well!
Any place where you're a minority is toxic, regardless whether you're male or female. I hate working in places where it's almost only women. They all gang on you and most women aways act worse to males on the same level, all the while sucking up to males in higher ranks, that's why you see
most female flight attendants going for the pilots and not fellow male flight attendats. But if I was female I'd hate working in an all-male office equally if I was the sole or one of 2-3 women.
