Because there is a fifty-fifty chance of gender testing procedures showing that the fetus is male, and because not all parents decide to abort female fetuses after testing, today's gender ratio figures do not reveal the full extent of society's anti-female bias. Nor are the reasons behind such bias something which can be explained by statistics.
由於鑑定性別中原本有一半就是男性的機會，有些人鑑定性別後也不一定會進行對女嬰墮胎，因此今天男、女嬰統計數字的差距，仍然無法真實呈現社會對女性的偏見，造成偏見的原因更非統計數字能解釋清楚。
