Girl Babies:  A blessing or a curse?

In many cultures, male children are considered superior.  I was teaching a ministers' seminar, when a man walked up to me during a break.  The conversation went like this:  "Sir, may I ask you a question?"  "Of course!" I replied.  "I have only daughters."  The man said, "Tell me, why am I cursed, with only daughters?"  My response, was, "Was the person who gave you birth, a man, or a woman?", and I walked away.
