Some countries are apparently still practicing infanticide with males being the favored sex.

Yeah. And then the female heavy ones are where all the men died in wars, by the millions or tens of millions in Russia's case

A lot of mostly agricultural countries practice(d) infanticide on female babies because women tend to marry and leave home. Men marry too, of course, but they tend to stay home or nearby and take care of the old folks. So female babies are/were seen as a burden on the family. Then there is often the additional problem of raising her dowry. Some days I sound so pedantic.
