It is a difference in the cultures of different parts of the world starting long ago. In many other countries, boys are most favored because boys are stronger than girls and can work harder to help support the family. In America, girls benefit from the Anglo-Saxon tradition of chivalry and the protection of women.

The main reason is "bride price" or dowry that parents have to pay to the grooms family. When a girl marries in many societies the family pays to the groom a dowry/ bride price. In some cultures it can be land, position, or money. In others it can be something like cows or goats. Because the family looses things to the grooms family girls are seen as less than boys.

What was marshall plan and its purpose?

It was a plan to send economic support to the European countries after World War 2. America was afraid that these countries would become communistic. It seems weird now to think so but when your country is completely destroyed a state in wich everything is shared doesn't seem so wrong. With the economic support most countries joined America. Another reason was that America would now have a European market to sell their products.
