Article in Times promoting discrimination ?

This is my first blog , i always wanted to write one but had many constraints , top one being laziness :) .

If you are a times of india reader i am sure you must have noticed the picture of a small kid ,a japanese prince and description said first "male heir" in 41 years , how relevant is this article in the current era where difference in gender is wiped off.

Dont we think by these articles we are promoting discrimination and also supporing the mindset of the ignorant people who think it is superior to be a male and wouldn't this lead to a more serious problem of encouraning female infanticide ? may be this is an exaggeration but with press reaching billions will it not be a negative infulence on say 0.1% which makes a huge number in thousands.


Should this be the behaviour of the press which constitutes the educated mass and reaches out to all kind of people?
I find it despisible, Is this our culture ?Did we forget famous leaders of the past like Tomoe Gozen of japan , rani lakshmi bhai , razia sulatana et al ? or are we forgetting the the situation of the present day women and their achievements coz i am sure it will make tera bytes of data, with women in all the fields i can think of to mention a few politics , business, IT , glam world , space mission , even the tough jobs like in armed forces et al

so I hope press will be more careful in putting the articles and not propogate wrong things into the mind of people.
