L.I., N.Y. Dad of 4 girls faints when he learns wife is having a son

http://abc13.com/family/new-york-dad-father-of-4-girls-faints-when-he-learns-hes-having-a-son/1177159/

LONG ISLAND, NY --
A New York man, who is the father of four daughters, was so overwhelmed upon learning he was finally going to have a son that he fainted.

It happened at a gender reveal party on Jan. 17th in Mastic Beach for 38-year-old Julio Pena and his wife, Kari.

The couple are parents to daughters Chastity, 16, Christalyn, 13, Nayalyn, 8, and Nakayla, 7.

"They have control here. I walk through that door, it's like," said Julio Pena, laughing.

Does no one else see the misogyny in this article? The mother is sick of pink and purple? Really? Talk about stereotyping. After 4 daughters, he's finally getting the child he wanted? And just why would anyone in this day and age have FIVE children?

This story is so wrong on so many levels.

I just took it at face value. He doesn't like being the only male in the house. She's tired of pink and purple. Ok. Raising a boy would be a novelty to them, Who cares?

I do, however, take issue with them having 5 kids.
