Gender imbalance is, at its root, a collective spiritual crisis.

About This Quote

The saying that “gender imbalance is, at its root, a collective spiritual crisis” is used to describe the idea that this phenomenon of boys being born more often than girls can be traced back to the foundation of our world. At some point, the divine beings knew only of male children. They decided to create more females because they saw the benefit in having more women. From this perspective, gender imbalance is about humanity’s forever-struggling with spirituality.

When faced with the prospect of creating a new life form on Earth, there were no good or bad options. However, these divine beings made a choice that was less noble considering they created one sex for their own purpose. Gender imbalance is also tied up with many other societal problems, such as war.

According to this perspective, modern-day wars are all about defending or gaining control of resources that are not scarce enough for everyone to have access to them. If resources are scarce, then people will fight over them.
