I have a good friend who has a DS and I have DDs. He is constantly making comments implying that having a son is somehow worth more or better than having daughters. Sometimes it's very open (he texted me that he'd told his DS (4 years) to play with the fat, dark haired little girls as they'd be less demanding than the blonde ones) but a lot of the time it's quite subtle - for example his son has a slightly disfigured leg and he keeps saying how lucky he is not to be a girl otherwise it would really, really matter. I often leave his company feeling deeply upset and angry. I'm not sure what to say to him. I have stopped him seeing my kids but I still see him. We've been friends a long time.
