Do any parents prefer girls nowadays?

Now, I consider myself to be a feminist and I find it really sad that in the past everyone only wanted a son. Mothers especially said that they find their little boy more 'playful' and 'cuddly' than girls. What rubbish is all this. Obviously this is still happening a lot today in certain parts of the world but I am not talking about that, I am talking about here.

So who prefers a girl nowadays? I am not talking about those people who initially wanted a boy but they got a girl by 'accident' and they started cherishing her anyway. No I am going a step further than that and asking are there any parents who are actually trying for a girl in the first place to the point that they might be slightly disappointed by a boy (but they will obviously love and cherish as their son now) ?

    all children are special and should be treated as such (regardless of gender).

    Preferences (either pro-girl or pro-boy) are hella lame.

    I'm sure many parents now would prefer girls in this emerging matriarchal society.

    If I were to have a child, I'd have preferred a girl.
