Do you agree with cultural stereotypes of gender?

Many people just wish to have a son rather than a daughter(especially men in my country),They say that usually only men from this family will carry on this family last name. I don’t know why some people on the same gender will support each other. I also know the advantages and disadvantages from both sex(even some people claim that male would be much easier to be taken care and won’t cost much money). I know it depends on one’s preference,but just say,if you can choose which one will you choose?,any consideration?.
