There is no indication that any of the things you mention has any effect on gender, and most of them don&#039;t even have the deleterious effects some claim. (Flint is a major problem of course.)

However, that&#039;s not what this imam is claiming. He is claiming a deliberate plot by the West to feminize Saudi society. It&#039;s patently ridiculous.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I suspect that Saudi Arabia&#039;s surplus of men is largely due to guest workers in the oil fields.  World wide, about 106 boys are born for every 100 girls.  In China, and probably India and elsewhere, the ratio of boys is higher because of abortions for sex selection and abandonment of female babies.  In most places, women live longer than men and the overall sex ratio is close to 1:1.  Among those 65 and over there are only about 0.8 males/female.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sex_ratio

Conspiracy theories about what malefactors are doing to our food and water are common in the US, buttressed by true stories of industrial pollution of drinking supplies (see Flint), antibiotics in animal feed, and chemicals sprayed on crops.  There has been a long campaign claiming the fluoridation of drinking water was a communist conspiracy.  

Various animals have the ability to change their sex ratios depending on conditions.  Is it totally ludicrous to think that some environmental conditions, such as ingested chemicals, could alter the sex ratio in humans?]]></description>

That&#039;s what I was thinking, too. The only explanation I can think of is, maybe the whiskey is being illegally smuggled?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;By the way some of that whiskey is not even fresh.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It even admits it on the bottle &quot;Ten Year Old&quot;!

Wait, what!  I thought it was illegal to drink alcohol in Saudi Arabia, so what&#039;s his problem.  Only the law-breakers suffer.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[And his idiot doesn&#039;t know the half of it. Only men have the gene that determines the gender of a child, so it&#039;s twice as easy to implement our ingenious plan, bwaaahahahaha!]]></description>
