I think a lot of it is not quite right. You see, you can have more than one child but the penalties are there. So, they want boys because women are worthless. You marry the woman off and she goes to the man's side of the family, and doesn't carry on the family name. So, if I can have one child without penalty, how do I make sure it is a masculine one? Well, sometimes the female child takes a swim in a bucket. Currently there are more males than females.
