I forgot to add this, but in the past, and in some parts still now, women in the past were neglected by men. Mainly because people though all women could do was be housewives, cook and raise children. Jean of the Arc is one of the few women in history that have made a large impact. Men in China and other Asian countries are expected to be the leader after the parents die and are worked hard everyday. So when it comes to children (this is before China's child policy was changed) in China, females are the most given up for adoption because males are believed to be stronger than girls. Though I'm not saying that's the only reason why people are adopted, also money and other reasons can also be why one is adopted. Now in the present men and women are given equal rights, though some countries are still struggling with human rights.
