MAN: You are leaving my house today for your father’s house!

WIFE: My dear husband what is my offence please?

MAN: you still have the audacity to talk back after four female children? You have not given me an heir and you want to keep staying in my house? You must be joking …

KING : My brother calm down and let’s discuss this issue.

Your wife is not guilty for giving you female children, you are the determinant on this matter.

MAN: een een! What do you mean?

KING: Chillax, Let’s talk about sex, Seriously. Not intercourse though – more about how genetic sex is programmed during development.

Sexual identity has been a trending topic lately, and unsurprisingly so, we are only now beginning to fully understand how mammalian sexual identity has evolved, and its dependence on the sex determination systems that allow biological development of sexual characteristics in different organisms.

Biological sex in healthy humans is determined by the presence of the sex chromosomes in the genetic code: two X chromosomes (XX) makes a girl, whereas an X and a Y chromosome (XY) makes a boy. In this way, it is the presence or absence of the Y chromosome in a healthy human that differentiates boy from girl, you get the gist?

MAN: Hmmm 🤔

KING: Yeah, Humans have one pair of sex chromosomes. Women have two “X” chromosomes, while men have an “X” and a “Y”. The presence or absence of the “Y” chromosome is what determines the sex of a baby. When a healthy human is conceived, it receives one sex chromosome from the mother and one sex chromosome from the father. Since the mother only has X chromosomes to give, it should be obvious that it is the father’s cells that determine whether the baby will genetically be a boy or a girl. The father’s genetic code is delivered to the newly conceived individual by sperm cells which are generated in the father’s gonads by the process of meiosis.

Since women only have “X” chromosomes, all their eggs only have “X” chromosomes. However, because men have both an “X” and a “Y”, each of their sperm will carry one or the other. That means that the chromosome in the sperm that fertilises the eggs will determine the baby’s sex. So, ultimately the father determines the sex of the baby, even though he cannot control whether an “X” or “Y” reaches the egg first.

So man, you are responsible for the sex of your children, it’s what you released into her that she gave back to you. It is “garbage in garbage out”. Please pull your wife closer and show her love. It was never her fault.

MAN: Thank you very much KING, I have been fighting an unjust fight with a woman who loves me unconditionally. My wife I’m sincerely sorry, I had been ignorant for so long…

KING: Once a couple finds out they are expecting a baby, it is only natural for them to be curious if they will have a boy or a girl. HOWEVER BE INFORMED, STOP CAUSING UNNECESSARY BREAKS IN YOUR HOMES. Male or female, they are both the hand work of The Creator.
