"In China, where girls have been systematically culled from the population, there were 34 million extra men in 2010, according to census data. In India, there are 17 million more men and boys between the ages of 10 and 24. That makes the marriage market even more competitive, which puts a man without a good job at a major disadvantage. Many are bound to be bachelors for life — a potent formula for violence, some scholars say, especially against women."
I know, or rather have heard the stories about baby girls in China, but I had no idea just how real and much of an impact this had. That is nuts.

The US 2010 census was pretty close to 50/50 http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/briefs/c2010br-03.pdf
