Oh, that is interesting. I'm gonna guess it's because when a girl is raped it's seen as more natural (but technically not kosher), and therefore less egregious - and if it's a boy it's like "on what kind of Earth would this happen..." In any case, the NYTimes didn't really give a decent response to like, 27,000 petitioners, so I really don't know how to bring this kind of thing to a media outlet's attention. Have they ever published a letter to the editor you've written?
